Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
On package upgrade, tzdata reads the /etc/localtime symlink. If /etc/localtime pointed to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Indiana/Indianapolis before the package upgrade, it is a tzdata bug. Otherwise the problem lies somewhere else. Since this bug is very old, I am closing it as invalid (due to a lack of more information). If you have seen such behavior recently, please reopen this bug or open a new bug report. ** Changed in: tzdata (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- 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/750837 Title: timezone changed to America/Adak Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: tzdata At install I selected America/Indiana/Indianapolis as my timezone. After the most recent update to tzdata (2011e-1) my timezone was changed to America/Adak. Here are the relevant lines from the terminal during install: Setting up tzdata (2011e-1) ... Current default time zone: 'America/Adak' Local time is now: Mon Apr 4 13:46:31 HADT 2011. Universal Time is now: Mon Apr 4 22:46:31 UTC 2011. Run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' if you wish to change it. The UTC time listed was correct however the local time was not. Manually changing my timezone back to America/Indiana/Indianapolis using 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' as recommended fixed the problem.
