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?
