Hello,

I just saw (because I encountered the issue again today) the merged code:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/pull/7032/commits/16ea67622b6971e83e8aa3edf0d4568b8d784bb8__;!!JFdNOqOXpB6UZW0!5OvKmxB4i8tk4GBf_u-rACHsq-kN7d4NaFhuK9PQtB-3MEe6TH50cGqqTe3VEziQVfuSeg$ What is the reason for drifting from the standard way of directly symlinking to /usr/share/... ? Because it can be in an exclude list ? (in which case one can make an exclude exception for the locale he wants)

As a matter of fact it does not fix the issue with R.

If /etc/localtime is a regular file OR if it is a symlink to ./Europe/Paris copied as in the commit

R complains:

Warning: ‘timedatectl’ indicates the non-existent timezone name ‘n/a’
Warning: Your system is mis-configured: ‘/etc/localtime’ is not a symlink
Warning: It is strongly recommended to set envionment variable TZ to ‘Europe/Paris

 In these cases indeed, timedatectl actually indicates 'n/a'

# timedatectl
               Local time: Tue 2021-11-09 16:00:17 UTC
           Universal time: Tue 2021-11-09 16:00:17 UTC
                 RTC time: Tue 2021-11-09 16:00:17
                Time zone: n/a (UTC, +0000)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

whereas it says

# timedatectl
               Local time: Tue 2021-11-09 17:17:02 CET
           Universal time: Tue 2021-11-09 16:17:02 UTC
                 RTC time: Tue 2021-11-09 16:17:02
                Time zone: Europe/Paris (CET, +0100)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

when

# ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Nov 9 17:16 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris

Thanks
