Public bug reported: Hello. I try to add a new time zone description of my current location. So I added to my zone.tab:
AQ -6212-05858 Antarctica/Bellingshausen Bellingshausen Station, Vaterloo Island, GMT-4 (Yes, I know, all the other stations at the island use GMT-3, but Russians use GMT-4, don't ask me why.) Then I created a soft link to GMT-4: $> sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-4 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Antarctica/Bellingshausen So tzselect script says: The following information has been given: Antarctica Bellingshausen Station, Vaterloo Island, GMT-4 Therefore TZ='Antarctica/Bellingshausen' will be used. Local time is now: Sun Apr 26 02:56:59 GMT-4 2015. Universal Time is now: Sat Apr 25 22:56:59 UTC 2015. But it is wrong timezone. It should be MSK-7, that is GMT-4. And when I link Bellingshausen TZ to GMT+4: $> sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+4 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Antarctica/Bellingshausen the timezone becomes correct: Therefore TZ='Antarctica/Bellingshausen' will be used. Local time is now: Sat Apr 25 19:23:33 GMT+4 2015. Universal Time is now: Sat Apr 25 23:23:33 UTC 2015. I tried tzdata_2015c-0ubuntu0.14.04_all.deb and tzdata_2015c- 0ubuntu0.14.10_all.deb. Is it a bug or I do smth wrong? ** Affects: tzdata (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: tzdata -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to tzdata in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448565 Title: Wrong time zone Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello.
