Bug#689315: zic: creates dangling symlink for /etc/localtime
Le 01/10/2012 16:18, John Paul Adrian Glaubitz a écrit : Package: libc-bin Version: 2.13-35 Severity: important Hello, the version of 'zic' in 'libc-bin' in Debian Wheezy seems to no longer creates the localtime conversion file correctly. On Debian Squeeze: root@squeeze32:~ zic -l Europe/Berlin root@squeeze32:~ file /etc/localtime /etc/localtime: timezone data, version 2, 8 gmt time flags, 8 std time flags, no leap seconds, 144 transition times, 8 abbreviation chars On Debian Wheezy: root@wheezy32:~ zic -l Europe/Berlin root@wheezy32:~ file /etc/localtime /etc/localtime: broken symbolic link to `../posix/Europe/Berlin' zic obviously tries to create a symbolic link to the correct timezone conversion file. Alas, the symbolic link created is relative and the source directory is obviously a subdirectory of /usr/share/zoneinfo while the localtime conversion file is saved as /etc/localtime, hence a dangling symbolic link is created. I am not able to reproduce this issue. Are you sure that /etc/localtime was not a broken symlink already before running the zic command?

Interesting, I cannot reproduce the issue anymore either and I am pretty sure it occurred the way I described it. Strangely, there has been no updated to libc-bin ever since, so this cannot be a bug in zic. However, tzdata has been recently upgraded. I don't know, but maybe it's somehow related? In any case, I can remove the local workaround here and close the bug. Adrian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
