Hi psl, I have verified that what you report in the bug description is
indeed the case in 8.04 LTS, as shown:
$ dpkg -s tzdata | grep Ver
Version: 2011g~repack-0ubuntu0.8.04
$ zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt | tail -6
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Thu Sep 9 21:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 9 23:59:59
2010 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Thu Sep 9 22:00:00 2010 UTC = Fri Sep 10 01:00:00
2010 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Thu Sep 30 20:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 23:59:59
2010 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Thu Sep 30 21:00:00 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 21:00:00
2010 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Mon Jan 18 03:14:07
2038 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Tue Jan 19 03:14:07
2038 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0
And I also can see that this is not the case for e.g. Natty, as you
reported.
All of the updates for 2011g are based on the same upstream tarball, so
at the moment I am not sure why there is this discrepancy for the Hardy
version only. I will set the bug to confirmed and we will investigate
this.
Thank you for reporting this, your help is very much appreciated!
