Package: iceowl-extension
Version: 31.8.0-1~deb8u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I recieved a calendar event in the Moscow timezone, and spent 30 minutes waiting
for others to join. The timezone data is an hour out:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1009894
This is a known issue with the way lightning tracks timezones - it ships its
own copy of the tzdata information, which needs to be updated regularly. Sadly,
it appears Jessie's iceowl-extension now contains out of date information and
most of Russia is now in the wrong timezone, so calendar events are an hour out.

Hello Christian,
I will close this report now as recent versions of Icedove uses also
recent timezone information via iceowl-extension.
The reason for this wrong timezone data is be tracked in 801794.
Regards
Carsten
