Is there any way we could see about having this package patched by an Ubuntu maintainer?
Based on reading over the open bugs associated with tzdata on Debian's bug tracker, this report and several other reports for the same undesirable behavior have languished from anywhere from 6 months to several years without a single response from the maintainer(s). I don't know if that indicates a lack of concern about the issue or that the package itself isn't being actively maintained beyond database updates but in either case it seems to me that a user shouldn't have to constantly reset /etc/timezone in order to prevent it from being updated to a technically correct although undesirable value. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772024 Title: tzdata update keeps changing my timezone To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/772024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
