Joseph, Known issue. It is unclear if the issue is with PostgeSQL or timezone data or how Gentoo packages it. See bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486556 I see 3 possible solutions: 1) Upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.2 2) Downgrade timezone-data to: sys-libs/timezone-data-2013c 3) manually delete the problematic symlink: /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix I have NOT tested any of these options myself. It is up to you to test this on your system. I think options 1 or 2 have the least amount of risk. -- Joost
