** Description changed:

  DST start/end times were changed during 2013, DST should only end in
  more than a month from the actual change happened.
  
  In order to solve this bug the tzdata package should be updated to the
  most recent version (currently tzdata 2013d-1) which contains the fix.
  
  Please notice the tzdata has no dependencies but tzdata-java which also
  needs to be updated (both versions are already updated in Debian
  testing).
  
  This is pretty urgent, releases not affected:
  Saucy Salamander (13.10), all others are affected.
  
  The change is described in the following diff:
  
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/146460855/tzdata_2013c-2ubuntu1_2013d-1ubuntu1.diff.gz
  
  The updated packages from Debian were installed in my personal system
  (12.04) and nothing seems broken so far, the package deployment was
  successful.
+ 
+ 
+ SRU Template starts here:
+ [Impact] 
+ 
+  * DST ends prematurely causing Ubuntu systems to work with a 1 hour
+ diff, the actual change should take place on October 27th.
+ 
+  * tzdata was updated accordingly, time difference could cause many
+ issues.
+ 
+  * tzdata was changes this June, fix was included in this release by
+ Ephraim Silverberg  on 2013-06-27.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * All of the affected systems are one hour behind.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * This change could possibly solve other issues as well (regarding
+ different timezone changes around the world).
+ 
+  * I only have 12.04 system so I checked the packages on my system and
+ nothing is broken AFAICT.
+ 
+  * Please notice tzdata and tzdata-java are dependent of one another but
+ besides that they have no other dependencies.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * Anything else you think is useful to include
+  * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and 
the Technical Board
+  * and address these questions in advance
