Package: python2.6 Version: 2.6.6-8+b1 It was noticed that after upgrade of tzdata to 2011h-0squeeze1 (which changed local time from UTC+3+DST (effective UTC+4) to UTC+4) Date: header in mails from buildbot started to contain incorrect timezone offsets (while having correct local time value). (Timestamps in twistd.log remained correct even after reboot.)
With tzdata 2011k-0squeeze1 and Europe/Samara as a timezone: % python -c 'import email.utils; print email.utils.formatdate(); print email.utils.formatdate(localtime=1)';date -R Thu, 13 Oct 2011 12:22:12 -0000 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 16:22:12 +0300 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 16:22:12 +0400 The culprit seems to be time.timezone value which still indicates UTC+3, while time.localtime() returns correct local time. time.daylight and time.localtime().tm_isdst do not match. % python -c 'import time; print time.timezone; print time.daylight; print time.localtime().tm_isdst;' -10800 1 0 -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (900, 'stable-updates'), (900, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python2.6 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdb4.8 4.8.30-2 Berkeley v4.8 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libncursesw5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline6 6.1-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.3-1 SQLite 3 shared library ii mime-support 3.48-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python2.6-minimal 2.6.6-8+b1 A minimal subset of the Python lan python2.6 recommends no packages.
