irisjae opened a new issue, #47346:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/47346
### Describe the enhancement requested
Arrow doesn't work well with timestamps on Linux distributions that symlink
`/etc/localtime`. In `cpp/src/arrow/vendored/datetime/tz.cpp`, this is checked
and errored out for. On distributions where localtime is meant to be a symlink,
this renders Arrow broken.
```
if (!(lstat(timezone, &sb) == 0 && S_ISLNK(sb.st_mode) && sb.st_size >
0))
throw runtime_error("discover_tz_dir failed\n");
```
