Helping person on #debian, tzconfig showed correct timezone. On investigation it appears his /etc/localtime link was missing, and so tzconfig was incorrectly suggesting the tz settings were correct. Suggest that tzconfig check that /etc/localtime exists before offering the option to bail out without resetting the link if it is missing. This will work... diff /usr/sbin/tzconfig /root/tzconfig.new 47c47 < if [ -f /etc/timezone ]; then --- > if [ -f /etc/timezone && -L /etc/localtime ]; then .... but only if /etc/localtime should always exist? This problem was probably caused by the user switching the system clock from using localtime, to a system clock set to using UTC (explained in man tzconfig). Need to check the patch works for those misguided people whose clock is set to localtime. Looks simple enough to me, but I haven't tested it beyond it avoids the problem experienced. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.2 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
