Bug ID: 194173
Summary: Timezones (zoneinfo) starting from October 2014 wrong
for Russia, etc
Product: Base System
Version: 9.3-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: Needs Triage
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The current installed version of FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE-p16, 9.3-RELEASE-p2 and
10.0-RELEASE-p9 incorrectly convert UTC to/from local time. Differences between
actual zoneinfo IANA and FreeBSD versions [name wrong source file from the
directory contrib/tzdata (share/zoneinfo); country; one of the cities for which
an error has been observed; the near future for which the observed error]:
FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE-p16:
europe Russia Europe/Moscow (26 Oct 2014)
africa Egypt Africa/Cairo (24 Apr 2015)
Libya Africa/Tripoli (31 Oct 2014)
asia Palestine Asia/Hebron (27 Mar 2015)
Zion Asia/Jerusalem (6 Oct 2014)
FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p9:
europe Russia Europe/Moscow (26 Oct 2014)
africa Egypt Africa/Cairo (24 Apr 2015)
FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p2:
europe Russia Europe/Moscow (26 Oct 2014)
Workarounds:
1. Temporarily use the current version of /usr/ports/misc/zoneinfo (see
attachment zoneinfo-2014.f.txz):
# portsnap fetch
# portsnap update
# cd /usr/ports/misc/zoneinfo
# make install
Add WITHOUT_ZONEINFO="yes" to your /etc/src.conf;
Run tzsetup(8) again to install the right file to /etc/localtime.
2. Copy directory /usr/share/zoneinfo from FreeBSD stable/8, stable/9 or
10.1-RC1.
