Is there something that Chilean-non-developer users of Ubuntu can do in
order to avoid this issue when the next 'time change' takes place?

Thanks in advance.

Title:
   Chile Summer Time CLST Transition Delay in 2013 Not Updated

Status in “tzdata” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Yes, is the same bug, but 1 year later. Again. So, i copied and pasted
  the problem.

  
  The transition from CLST to CLT was historically made each second Saturday of March, and from CLT to CLST each second Satuday of October.

  Today times were automatically updated according to this, but since
  2010, official time has been changed and updated according to
  different decrees (see http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm, which
  holds official time information and the new dates for this year).

  Translating the information, for this year:

  Start of 2012 Winter Time:

  According to Supreme Decree #153, from February, 6th 2012, from
  "Ministerio del Interior":

  a. For continental and Chilean Antarctic Territory.

  On April, 27th 2012, at 24.00 hours, time will be delayed to 23.00
  hours of the same date. (CLST -> CLT)

  b. Easter Island and Salas y Gómez Islands

  On April, 27th 2012, at 22.00 hours, time will be delayed to 21.00
  hours of the same date. (GMT -5 -> GMT -6)

  This will aplied until September, 7st 2012. Usually on that, at 24.00
  hours time will be updated to 01.00 hours of the following date.

  This happen a week ago, and no patches has been uploaded. Please,
  update the package!!!
