[Bug 750837] Re: timezone changed to America/Adak

[Benjamin Drung]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

On package upgrade, tzdata reads the /etc/localtime symlink. If
/etc/localtime pointed to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Indiana/Indianapolis before the package
upgrade, it is a tzdata bug. Otherwise the problem lies somewhere else.
Since this bug is very old, I am closing it as invalid (due to a lack of
more information). If you have seen such behavior recently, please
reopen this bug or open a new bug report.

Title:
  timezone changed to America/Adak

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: tzdata

  At install I selected America/Indiana/Indianapolis as my timezone.
  After the most recent update to tzdata (2011e-1) my timezone was
  changed to America/Adak.  Here are the relevant lines from the
  terminal during install:

  Setting up tzdata (2011e-1) ...


  Current default time zone: 'America/Adak'

  Local time is now:      Mon Apr  4 13:46:31 HADT 2011.

  Universal Time is now:  Mon Apr  4 22:46:31 UTC 2011.

  Run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' if you wish to change it.

  
  The UTC time listed was correct however the local time was not.  Manually changing my timezone back to America/Indiana/Indianapolis using 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' as recommended fixed the problem.
