Package: maitreya
Version: 7.0.7-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

Maitreya's geonames database gives UTC -3 hours for locations in Paraguay
whereas it should be UTC -4 h corresponding with correctly shown time zone
"America/Asunción".

UTC -3 h is correct only during DST, but the offset for DST is meant to be
handled manually.

There is also strange behaviour regarding time zones when setting a standard
location that is not in the same time zone as the computer/system. In this case
the time zone of the newly set standard location is not taken into account and
the old offset stays put.

Maybe it would be possible to use the systems's already existing knowledge
about time zones and DST (tzdata) to avoid mistakes and simplify things for the
user.

Yours
Günter Heine
