Thomas, I think the next step here is to verify if latest and greatest php upstream version have the same behaviour with the above tzdata upstream change.
This will tell us if the situation has been already addressed (intentionally or by happenstance) upstream or not. I'm also afraid this change might impact other packages like php relying on "WGT" & "WGST". Feel free to Affect other packages if you notice other similar cases with other packages. - Eric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to tzdata in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1734967 Title: tzdata info for WGT/WGST broken Status in php5 package in Ubuntu: New Status in php7.0 package in Ubuntu: New Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Using "America/Godthab" timezone, "WGT/WGST" is no longer displayed from date command but instead just "-03". Problem is evident in PHP applications too, which now think we're in Sao Paolo. This appears to have changed with latest tzdata update or perhaps in combination with change from DST. Same problem on 16.04, 17.10 and Debian 9.
