No, It's that the time-zone data itself is incorrect. Debian are being purile perfectionists by not including this in their automatic bug-fix system, because they claim, with a micro-gramme of truth, that it's not a 'security' bug.
Check that you have either updated the time-zone data-set manually from the 'volatile' repository, or downloaded the new data-set from:- ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ or a mirror thereof. Then compile the time-zone data. man zic for all the gore. <a href='http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/30/1117241'>current reference</a> <rant> Note that Daylight Savings Time is a heineous plot perpertrated by those who are infected with affluenza to kick a complaisant proletariat out of bed an hour earlier so that they could get an hour's extra work done. Whilst that _might_ have been justifiable during the period 1914 - 1918, it is, without any doubt whatsoever, no longer the case. </rant> On 10/1/07, Steve Holdoway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 01 Oct 2007 07:06:38 +1200 > Chris AKA personthingy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > What does it take to make my Debian-etch system aware of the change in > > daylight savings?
