Package: tzdata Version: 2007b-1 Severity: normal Tags: l10n
On my system, I'm using a umask of 027 set via the /etc/login.defs file. Probably because of this setting (I did not try without it), /etc/localtime gets installed with a mode of 640, i.e. normal users can not read that file. As a result, every user but root has the time displayed as stored in the hardware clock, not in local time as it should be. Actually, I have the hw clock set to UTC and the timezone "Europe/Berlin", and when it's 20:00 the date command says it's 18:00.
