Hi,

if I'm not mistaken this patch doesn't quite do the trick: You removed the removal of /tmp/TZ which seem to be preferred by `hwclock`, meaning even if $zonename (aka $zname) is found, /tmp/TZ is still there. As a result both /tmp/TZ and /tmp/localtime exists both, allowing the user no longer to change the timezone at all, even when typing the "correct" entry (i.e. Pacific/Port_Moresby).

Please send a v2 removing the /tmp/TZ file again iff $zonename exists.

The system init script currently sets /tmp/localinfo when zoneinfo is
populated. However, zoneinfo has spaces in it whereas the actual files
have _ instead of spaces. This made the if condition never return true.

Example failure when removing the if condition:

/tmp/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los Angeles

This file does not exist. America/Los_Angeles does.

  this should be backported to 21.02 and 19.07 as the issue is also
  present there. This was tested on 19.07.
