Package: libc-bin Version: 2.13-35 Severity: important Hello,
the version of 'zic' in 'libc-bin' in Debian Wheezy seems to no longer creates the localtime conversion file correctly. On Debian Squeeze: root@squeeze32:~> zic -l Europe/Berlin root@squeeze32:~> file /etc/localtime /etc/localtime: timezone data, version 2, 8 gmt time flags, 8 std time flags, no leap seconds, 144 transition times, 8 abbreviation chars On Debian Wheezy: root@wheezy32:~> zic -l Europe/Berlin root@wheezy32:~> file /etc/localtime /etc/localtime: broken symbolic link to `../posix/Europe/Berlin' zic obviously tries to create a symbolic link to the correct timezone conversion file. Alas, the symbolic link created is relative and the source directory is obviously a subdirectory of /usr/share/zoneinfo while the localtime conversion file is saved as /etc/localtime, hence a dangling symbolic link is created.
