My system says
~$ cat /etc/timezone
Australia/Sydney
~$ ll /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           36 2002-10-22 23:58 /etc/localtime -> 
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney
~$ ll /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 2002-10-22 23:58 
/usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime -> /etc/localtime

This, I think, should work as well.

OK, I'll unset TZ; no point in having it if it's not needed.
