Title: zic -l Foo/Bar leads to broken /etc/localtime Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: since 13.04, zic seems to be broken. Go to the Systemsettings set the correct time and turn on ntp. next, the timezone are correct but the time will always set tu UTC. in a bugreport on kde.org > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317999#c11 a userhas found out that it could be zic's fault --kubuntu-dev note-- a user did some fiddling to zic and came up with a fix/workaround http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?62995-Wrong-time-zone-on-your-clock-Help-Kubuntu-devs-create-a-fix&p=330437&viewfull=1#post330437 in particular the problem is that zic -l Foo/Bar will copy Foo/Bar which on debian systems is a relative symlink, so /etc/localtime ends up being broken since it doesn't point to an actual file anymore. this issue seems to be affecting all of debian and pretty much renders zic useless for purposes of setting the system timezone. ---- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: libc-bin 2.17-91ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.10.0-5.17-lowlatency 3.10.2 Uname: Linux 3.10.0-5-lowlatency x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Aug 15 13:14:33 2013 Dependencies: gcc-4.8-base 4.8.1-8ubuntu1 libc6 2.17-91ubuntu1 libcap2 1:2.22-1.2ubuntu2 libgcc1 1:4.8.1-8ubuntu1 multiarch-support 2.17-91ubuntu1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-06-06 (69 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: eglibc UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-06-17 (58 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1212662/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
