Depends if you want POSIX compliance for your timezone variables or not...

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.
Thanks
