/etc/timezone is no longer created on new installations and will no longer be kept updated at some point in the future. You are not supposed to read /etc/localtime directly, but read what it points to (it's a symlink), eg: $ readlink /etc/localtime | sed "s|/usr/share/zoneinfo/||" Europe/London Please fix cron to do this in time for Trixie. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
