Not a bug, unless it's a political one..


You need to update your timezone info.

I used the instructions from here with some munging:
http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm

Try this:
cd /tmp
mkdir tz
cd tz
wget 'ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tz*.tar.gz'
gzip -dc tzcode*.tar.gz | tar -xf -
gzip -dc tzdata*.tar.gz | tar -xf -
make

** Don't do a "make install"..

Copy the file "/tmp/tz/local/zoneinfo/Australia/Adelaide" to the
directory "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia"

Assuming "/etc/localtime" is linked correctly to
"/usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Adelaide", this should fix it
immediately.
