This is fixed in RHEL3/Rawhide by splitting tzdata package from glibc-common (with separate sources), so that erratas to tzdata can be released independently from glibc erratas. For RHAS2.1 you can either temporarily copy the appropriate zoneinfo file from newer distributions, or wait for next glibc rpms, which probably won't happen for a few months unless some severe bug is discovered. This is acceptable. We've been using the zoneinfo file from a newer distribution, but I wanted to make sure that future updates of glibc are correct for RHAS2.1. Feel free to close this bug if future updates are handled. Should be fixed in glibc-2.2.4-32.9. Exists as a errata-candidate, adding to U3 blocker bug list. An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2003-359.html |
Description of problem: The file /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Tallinn contains out-of-date information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-common-2.2.4-32.8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. date Actual results: Wed Aug 27 08:52:20 EET 2003 EET indicates Estonian Standard Time. Expected results: Wed Aug 27 09:52:20 EEST 2003 EEST indicates Estonian Summer Time. Additional info: This problem was previously reported for RHL 7.2 (bug 76549). This bug was caused by a change in Estonian law to start using Daylight Time again. We have been using Daylight Time for two summers now, but updates to glibc-common continue to distribute bad data. Red Hat Linux versions 7.3 through 9 work correctly.
