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 Mon Aug 1 15:01:42 EDT 2005 Mon Aug 1 11:01:42 AKDT 2005 -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages libdatetime-timezone-perl depends on: ii libclass-singleton-perl 1.03-6 Implementation of a "Singleton" cl ii libparams-validate-perl 0.76-1 validate parameters to Perl method -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
