Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 8.10.4, i386
tzdata 2011g
# dpkg -s tzdata | grep Ver
Version: 2011g~repack-0ubuntu0.8.04
Timezone for Egypt (Cairo) is set to GMT. I think this is not correct
and should be +7200 (no DST). Notice gmtoff in the following list:
# zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt | tail -6
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Thu Sep 9 21:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 9 23:59:59
2010 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Thu Sep 9 22:00:00 2010 UTC = Fri Sep 10 01:00:00
2010 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Thu Sep 30 20:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 23:59:59
2010 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Thu Sep 30 21:00:00 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 21:00:00
2010 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Mon Jan 18 03:14:07
2038 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Tue Jan 19 03:14:07
2038 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0
BTW, I thing this issue is an evidence that Ubuntu is not used in Egypt...
