Package: glibc Version: glibc-2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4 Severity: critical
Hello - tzdata in glibc for stable is based on tzdata2006b (from edits in 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge1), this does not have the correct PST changes for this year for 4 Canadian provinces and the Northwest Territories.
This is a critical functional issue in 'stable' Debian that needs be be addressed. If needed as a security update.
The tzdata2006b / northamerica file states: # To reflect all this, the Canada and Winn rules have been adjusted to # agree with the 2007 US change. This means we assume most of Canada # will fall into line. However, Alberta, British Columbia, # Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, and Yukon already have separate # rules in our database, so for now we'll leave them alone, which # means that we currently assume these regions will not change their # rules and will disagree with the US starting in 2007. This # assumption is probably incorrect, with the possible exception of # Newfoundland. We plan to adjust the Edm, Vanc, StJohns, and NT_YK # rules as the corresponding provinces make their announcements. The first revision of tzdata that does have the correct data is 2006d. ftp://munnari.oz.au/pub/oldtz/tzdata2006d.tar.gz The current tzdata is 2007a ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ Dave, -- David Broome Programmer-Analyst.FineArts.UVic.CA /BSc /CNA /MCP 250.721-6307 [EMAIL PROTECTED] FIA 221 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
