[Bug 16285] Re: time-admin: User-selected time zone will not stick (for some locations)
In http://git.gnome.org./cgit/gnome-system-tools/tree/src/time/time-
tool.c the function oobs_time_config_get_timezone is used to populate
the GUI. This appears to use the functions from System Tools Backends
to actually obtain the current time zone.
Now, my understanding of the relationships and dependencies is far from
perfect, but I was able to read and roughly understand the code in
Time::TimeDate.pm -- it basically compares your /etc/localtime to the
available time zone files, and (duh) reports the first match.
But why doesn't it simply read my /etc/timezone?
jaunty$ perl -I/usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts -MTime::TimeDate
-MUtils::File \
> -le 'print Time::TimeDate::get_timezone("/etc/localtime",
> "/usr/share/zoneinfo")'
Europe/Mariehamn
jaunty$ cat /etc/timezone
Europe/Helsinki
jaunty$ ls -l /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/{Helsinki,Mariehamn}
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1883 2009-07-04 22:07 /etc/localtime
-rw-r--r-- 2 root root 1883 2009-06-18 19:15 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Helsinki
-rw-r--r-- 2 root root 1883 2009-06-18 19:15
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Mariehamn
jaunty$ md5sum /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/{Helsinki,Mariehamn}
a2a75461ac17557cba12a846a564e467 /etc/localtime
a2a75461ac17557cba12a846a564e467 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Helsinki
a2a75461ac17557cba12a846a564e467 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Mariehamn
Thus, the following locations exhibit the problem:
jaunty$ grep -v '^#' /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab | cut -sf3 |
> perl -I/usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts -MTime::TimeDate
> -MUtils::File -lne '
> $a = $_;
> $tz = Time::TimeDate::get_timezone("/usr/share/zoneinfo/$_",
> "/usr/share/zoneinfo");
> print "$a != $tz" unless ($a eq $tz)'
Antarctica/South_Pole != Antarctica/McMurdo
Europe/Helsinki != Europe/Mariehamn
Europe/Guernsey != Europe/London
America/Guadeloupe != America/St_Barthelemy
Europe/Zagreb != Europe/Sarajevo
Europe/Isle_of_Man != Europe/London
Europe/Jersey != Europe/London
Europe/Podgorica != Europe/Sarajevo
America/Marigot != America/St_Barthelemy
Europe/Skopje != Europe/Sarajevo
Europe/Belgrade != Europe/Sarajevo
Europe/Ljubljana != Europe/Sarajevo
Arctic/Longyearbyen != Europe/Oslo
Europe/Bratislava != Europe/Prague
Europe/San_Marino != Europe/Rome
America/Shiprock != America/Denver
Europe/Vatican != Europe/Rome
As predicted by this list, I was able to reproduce for Longyearbyen and
Jersey as well, and would expect the rest of the list to reprodce this
problem as well. For Longyearbyen -> Olso and Jersey -> London the
mapping is luckily to the proper main city in the governing territory,
so I guess it's less sensitive for them, but it's still a bug. If Rome
mapped to San Marino, or Denver to Shiprock, that would be similar to
the situation wrt Helsinki/Mariehamn. And Bratislava -> Prague is
pretty grave, of course.

[Bug 16285] Re: time-admin: User-selected time zone will not stick (for some locations)
I was able to reproduce that Europe/Belgrade, Europe/Ljubljana, Europe/Skopje, and Europe/Zagreb get mapped to Europe/Sarajevo, but was unable to get any discrepancy for Europe/London (also since Mark Fraser is using Kubuntu, his is bound to be a different problem).
