[gentoo-user] Logwatch and TimeZone Errors

2006-11-02 Thread Ow Mun Heng 
Has anyone seen this problem? I've tried to rebuild perl and logwatch
and timezone-data

ERROR: Date::Manip unable to determine TimeZone.

I have been through this, Perl doesn't understand Far Eastern time zones like
this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ date
Thu Nov  2 17:52:10 ICT 2006

I resorted to hacking /etc/cron.daily/00-logwatch and adding:

export TZ=+0700

which fixes the problem. Adjust your offset accordingly... :)
