The time and date panel has been fixed with the upload of system-tools- backends 2.6.0-0ubuntu6, and will now create a copy instead of a symlink. I don't have any reason to believe this is connected to the bug of /etc/localtime existing without /etc/timezone. -- /etc/timezone does not exist

I would also note that there probably isn't any particular correlation with NSW, beyond the fact that NSW has just gone through a DST change under a new set of DST rules, so this is the precise set of people who are going to be noticing the problem right now. -- /etc/timezone does not exist

FYI, I've now done an upgrade of a system from edgy-feisty-gutsy-hardy, and at no point did /etc/timezone disappear. Given that /etc/timezone has been present out-of-the-box since at least edgy, and all of the relevant maintainer scripts handle it correctly, this bug basically requires some

Robert, we do need to know at least whether this was an upgrade, and if so from which release, so that we can at least have some basic idea of where to start investigating. At least in Dennis' case, we're pretty confident that the installer did create /etc/timezone, but something seems to have

I also encountered this, on an i386 machine that was freshly installed from a feisty cd last year, then upgraded to gutsy and then to hardy in the usual way. It's a desktop machine so I have probably never changed the timezone since it was installed. I have dpkg.log going back to at least May
