Clock time zone

[Phil]

Thank you for reading this.

Since a recent set of updates the time displayed is UTC time even though 
the KDE time zone settings are still set as they previously were.

/etc/timezone and /etc/localtime still show the correct time zone, yet 
"date" displays UTC time.

As I said, this has only occurred during the past couple of days after a 
batch of updates were received. Is this a known problem?
