Mike, Assaf: Thanks for your instructions. Here are my (mostly minor) corrections/suggestions:
1. The workaround you suggested patches the zone files but the verification is slightly wrong - by running the command zdump -v Asia/Jerusalem you verify the the zone file is correct but _not_ that the zone file is actually effective (i.e. copied or linked to /etc/localtime). 2. I think that dpkg-reconfigure tzdata does more than just copying the zone file to /etc/localtime so I suggest running it rather than copying or linking. 3. Hard linking /etc/localtime is probably wrong, it may cause the "source" zone file to be overwritten. Here's my suggested workaround, it should be slightly more reliable: #Check if the settings are right: zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2013 #If wrong: mkdir $HOME/dstfix2013 cd $HOME/dstfix2013 wget -N ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/asia sudo zic asia sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Jerusalem /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tel_Aviv # reconfigure the system to use the new zone files sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata # Check again zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2013 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158834 Title: Daylight saving dates for Asia/Jerusalem need updating To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/1158834/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
