Hi, [ Reason ] We've received installation reports from users telling us their locations weren't being taken into account timezone-wise. That's the case at least for Argentina (multiple reports), and for Ukraine. Both are fixed in unstable already. As far as I understand[1] that's due to legacy names being split out from the regular tzdata package. 1. https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2025/12/msg00190.html Whatever the exact reasons, the fact is bookworm was accepting both pairs of names (Etc/UTC added for reference): $ for tz in America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires America/Buenos_Aires Europe/Kyiv Europe/Kiev Etc/UTC; do TZ=$tz date; done Sat 27 Dec 21:23:26 -03 2025 Sat 27 Dec 21:23:26 -03 2025 Sun 28 Dec 02:23:26 EET 2025 Sun 28 Dec 02:23:26 EET 2025 Sun 28 Dec 00:23:26 UTC 2025 while trixie doesn't anymore: Sat 27 Dec 21:23:16 -03 2025 Sun 28 Dec 00:23:16 America 2025 Sun 28 Dec 02:23:16 EET 2025 Sun 28 Dec 00:23:16 Europe 2025 Sun 28 Dec 00:23:16 UTC 2025 Note how the second of each pair (legacy name) gets the area reported, alongside with the same data as UTC… [ Impact ] Affected users get UTC instead of a location-appropriate timezone. [ Tests ] Test-installations in Spanish (location = Argentina) and Ukrainian (location = Ukraine) with a custom ISO using the proposed package confirmed the correct timezone is set and giving appropriate time information in the installed system. [ Risks ] I'd hate to jinx it so I'll just stay very low risks: the source package gets two substitutions (the two affected locations), which after a build under cowbuilder are confirmed to be the only two changes according to diffoscope. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable Thanks for your time!
