Ah, thanks for the clue stick Christian. It looks like this bug needs to be split into two, one dealing with how java determines what timezone the host is running in, another for how java deals with it internally. Even if you do find a solution to the localtime/TZ problem, the original bug will still be present if the internal java olson database is not corrected. I don't have a problem on my servers determining the correct timezone because the glibc timezone database is corrected for DST, my problem is the sun java vm distributed in dapper does not know about the DST changes. It is my impression that this bug is about the java olson database needing an update... If my impression is wrong should I file another bug? -- Java reports time zone incorrectly during CDT (US Daylight saving time) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49068 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
