Package: manpages Version: 4.16-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream In 'man 5 tzfile', after the header description, six fields are described: tzh_timecnt*4, tzh_timecnt*1, tzh_typecnt*6, tzh_leapcnt*8, tzh_ttisstdcnt*1, tzh_ttisgmtcnt*1.
According to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8536 (section 3.2. TZif Data Block), there should be also a tzh_charcnt field after the first three fields (i.e. total of seven fields). I was bitten by this omission when developing a script to process files following the tzfile format. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled manpages depends on no packages. manpages recommends no packages.
