Package: tzdata Version: 2010l-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney
the zone names for daylight asavings are the same as for winter time this causes ambiguity. $ export TZ=Australia/Sydney $ date -d '@1301756400' Sun Apr 3 02:00:00 EST 2011 $ date -d '@1301760000' Sun Apr 3 02:00:00 EST 2011 two distinct times with identical "human readable" representation. some people may find that confusing. (the instants used above are one hour before, and at, the end of daylight saving) I get the feeling that the daylight-saving timezone is misnamed Australia/Sydney is not the only Australian zone involved, they should all be checked. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tzdata depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.35 Debian configuration management sy tzdata recommends no packages. tzdata suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
