I also encountered this, on an i386 machine that was freshly installed from a feisty cd last year, then upgraded to gutsy and then to hardy in the usual way. It's a desktop machine so I have probably never changed the timezone since it was installed.
I have dpkg.log going back to at least May 2007. Quite a few people in NSW have hit this it seems. Note that despite Robert's initial comment, after reconfiguring the package localtime is in fact a symlink. -- /etc/timezone does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
