** Description changed: + [Impact] + All users affected by this time zone. + + [Test Case] + See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates?action=show#tzdata + + [Regression potentional] + Minimal, no code change and addresses the latest upstream time differences. + I am installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and despite choosing Port-au-Prince from the global map in Ubiquity, the time zone / resulting time is wrong. It will show for example 8AM when in fact it is 9AM. I've compared this with local time (radio, local mobile phones) and with different Internet sources to confirm. TimeAndDate.com reports the following correct information: Standard time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours Daylight saving time: +1 hour Current time zone offset: UTC/GMT -4 hours Time zone abbreviation: EDT - Eastern Daylight Time Daylight Saving Time DST started on dimanche 11 mars 2012, 02 h 00 local standard time DST ends on dimanche 4 novembre 2012, 02 h 00 local daylight time It's even more interesting that this change only happens *this year*: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=709 I believe any Ubuntu system (and probably other Debian derivatives) running in this timezone are 1 hoour late as a result. == UPATE: This was fixed in tzdata 20120c1 and above, however such version won't be updated in Ubuntu for some time (low priority according to Canonical). To check your version: dpkg -l tzdata A workaround is provided in the comments below. == ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: tzdata 2012b-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-27.43-generic 3.2.21 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-27-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu11 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Aug 1 11:08:57 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: tzdata UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
