Hello, please verifythat /etc/localtime is not a bogus link and that the timezone is set up correctly (remove /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone if in doubt and rerun tzselect or tzconfig).
The current installation does not give a sane end result. There is more behind it but I have not yet figured out which parts are responsible for the bugs I see. For example, if /etc/localtime is a link to some directory, tzconfig will not work (a bug in the script I think, which uses -sf to override etc/localtime). But when I set TZ to some timezone, some RPC seems to hang, too, when /etc/localtime is bogus. I need to investigate this, so no bug report yet, but if anybody else is interested, just have a go and try various combinations of /etc/localtime /good and bogus ones) and what effect setting TZ and running tzconfig has. Be prepared to reboot. A good test is also running "make strftlng" in gawk-3.0.3/test. It will hang when /etc/localtime is a bogus link to a directory (but you can suspend the job and kill it).
