** Description changed: - Setting the timezone in the timeanddate kcm (by right clicking the clock and going to configuration) copies a file from /usr/share/zoneinfo/<region>/<city>. - So for example it tries copying /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin <-- This file however is a link pointing to ../posix/Europe/Berlin. As the file gets copied to /etc/localtime the symlink is wrong. - This results in a bad timezone and time (as it defaults to UTC on a wrong /etc/localtime file). + Setting the timezone in the timeanddate kcm (by right clicking the clock and going to configuration) copies a file from /usr/share/zoneinfo/<region>/<city>. + So for example it tries copying /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin <-- This file however is a link pointing to ../posix/Europe/Berlin.

This seems not to be an upstream issue as at least openSUSE is not using symlinks in /usr/share/zoneinfo . So it is debian/ubuntu specific. + + ---- + zic bug is bug #1212662
