Package: postgresql-8.2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Postgresql contains it's own copy of the timezone information. It would
be nice if it could use the one provided by the tzdata package.
There was some talk about this recently on the postgresql list. One of
the reasons is that not on all OSs that postgresql supports the timezone
information is of the same quality. Symlinking to the one provided by
tzdata _might_ work.
Please see
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-03/msg00784.php
and follow-up messages.

It seems that this bug was not mentioned in postgresql-8.2's changelog:
* debian/patches/04-timezone-symlinks.patch:
- Use the timezone database from the system tzdata instead of shipping our
own. Towards a single authoritative time zone database in Debian and
Ubuntu... :) (LP: #41159)
- Drop previous hardlink-to-symlink patch to zic, since that is irrelevant
now.
- debian/control: Add tzdata dependency.
