Package: util-linux
Version: 2.12r-2
Followup-For: Bug #342887

I would like to reinforce that using TZ is NOT a valid answer... Either
TZ has to encode all the informatino from /usr/share/zoneinfo for the
appropriate timezone somehow (which I don't think would even be
possible!) OR it is set to a timezone spec that requires
/usr/share/zoneinfo itself!

The only valid solution is to copy the appropriate timezone info to
/etc/localtime.  Rerunning tzconfig or recopying this file when
/usr/share/zoneinfo is updated is a perfectly fine solution and by far
the least hackiest solution.
