I am having the same problem after upgrading to potato. /etc/localtime is a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern . There isn't a /usr/share/zoneinfo anymore, and there isn't a file called 'Eastern' on my system.
dselect tells me that the "timezones" package conflicts with, libc6. it also says timezones REQUIRES libc6. Now, i'm no guru, but i don't think a package should conflict with something it requires. So how do we fix this? Colin Telmer wrote: > > I am running potato and have glibc 2.1 installed and date reports GMT time > rather than EST.
