If so, it becomes ok that someone (I hope you) localize tzsetup. > Anso tzsetup show cities, but show also "Malta" that is NOT a city (it > should show "La Valletta" )and this is definitively a bug !

Timezone reflects the time data of country/region. Look at timezone data. You find the pair of both offset and summer time is not enough to describe the regional timezone data in detail. And still I don't find what your problem is. If you wish you want to use time offset and summer time changes, go back to old good days.
