The bug is not about tzdata itself (that package contains only the
information about the timezones). Instead it is about the part of the
system that takes care of changing the local time when the daylight
saving switch is done. A solution/workaround is to change the system
clock to be in UTC. Then the hardware clock does not need to be changed.
Is someone still affected by this bug?
