Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Beginning today, almost all appointments listed in my calender have been
moved forward by 1 hour over the system time, causing all of my
appointment listings, reminder messages, and most importantly my alarms,
to be triggering at the incorrect time.
The times are listed incorrectly both in the calender, and in the clock-
applet. Restarting evolution does not help.
This only began happening this week. Up until now, all appointments have
been listed at the correct times, both in the past on the calender, and
in the future on the calender. However, now that the appointments have
shifted, all appointments, past and future, have shifted forward by 1
hour, except for those appointments within the date range of March 15 to
April 4th. Those in that range still retain the correct times.
The issue only appears to affect local calenders. External calender
displays (such as google calender caldav) are not affected.
This appears to be related to Daylight Savings Time, and the idiotic
decision to change the start of DST in the US (Current timezone:
America/Monterrey), as the 'old' DST used to begin on this past Sunday
at 2AM. However, I did not check my appointments until today because I
assumed they would be correct...and as a result, I missed a morning
appointment because my alarm did not trigger appropriately.
I attempted to reproduce the issue by running evolution from 'faketime'
choosing arbitrary dates from several days ago, several weeks ago, and
several months ago, and attempting to create appointments to see if they
would shift. Any appointments that I created did not shift with the
existing appointments. Appointments placed in future years also do not
shift.
As a result, I cannot reproduce this issue, however this is not the
first time this has happened to me. This is simply the first time I've
reported it.
I also intend to test using Lucid, though considering my inability to
reproduce the bug on my system, I am less than hopeful that the bug will
appear.
