Summary: upgrading shouldn't destroy the configuration.


I got an upgrade of tzdata just now:

        Vorbereiten zum Ersetzen von tzdata 2007i-1 (durch 
.../tzdata_2007i-2_all.deb) ...
        Entpacke Ersatz für tzdata ...
        Richte tzdata ein (2007i-2) ...

        User defined timezone, leaving /etc/localtime unchanged.
        Local time is now:      Mon Nov 26 08:12:01 UTC 2007.
        Universal Time is now:  Mon Nov 26 08:12:01 UTC 2007.
        Run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' if you wish to change it.

Whereas my configured timezone was UTC-1 (see end of mail).

localtime apparently wasn't touched, but the time given is wrong:
        $ ls -la /etc/localtime
        -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 801 2007-07-03 08:45 /etc/localtime
        $ date
        Mon Nov 26 08:28:22 UTC 2007
        $ TZ=UTC date
        Mon Nov 26 08:29:15 UTC 2007
        $ TZ=UTC-1 date
        Mon Nov 26 09:29:53 UTC 2007

Reconfiguration solves it, though:
        $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata        
        Current default timezone: 'Europe/Vienna'
        Local time is now:      Mon Nov 26 09:31:50 CET 2007.
        Universal Time is now:  Mon Nov 26 08:31:50 UTC 2007.
        $ date
        Mon Nov 26 09:31:53 CET 2007
