Package: backup2l
Version: 1.4
Severity: normal

The content of the *.list files is timezone dependent. (I just moved
to another country and got afterwards a full backup.) The cause is the
-fprintf option of the find function in prepare_backup(). A simple
solution is to put an

        export TZ=UTC

statement at the beginning of prepare_backup(). It should not be a
global declaration because this would make the output of backup2l -s
also appear in UTC.

(This may be an obscure bug, but keeping the internal data independent
of the time zone is always a good idea.)
