Package: libdatetime-timezone-perl
Version: 1:0.28-1
Severity: important
Tags: l10n

AKST9AKDT is absent from /usr/share/perl5/DateTime/TimeZoneCatalog.pm
and therefore one cannot use the Alaska standard timezone AKST9AKDT,
which is analogous to EST5EDT (US/Eastern), CST6CDT (central), etc.
AKST9AKDT is the same timezone as US/Alaska and America/Anchorage.

On my system, as a temporary hack, I did:

docs1:/usr/share/perl5/DateTime# diff TimeZoneCatalog.pm.old TimeZoneCatalog.pm
853a854
>   'AKST9AKDT' => 'America/Anchorage',

Please note:

docs1:/usr/share/perl5/DateTime# head -5 TimeZoneCatalog.pm
# This file is auto-generated by the Perl DateTime Suite VTIMEZONE
# parser (0.07).
#
# Do not edit this file directly.


I suspect that the system that VTIMEZONE built TimeZoneCatalog.pm on did
not have AKST9AKDT defined, or VTIMEZONE has a bug in it.  On the system
from which I am reporting this bug, AKST9AKDT is known, as evidenced by:

docs1:/usr/share/perl5/DateTime# date && TZ=AKST9AKDT date
