Description Chris Samuel 2006-02-09 05:22:13 UTC
Description of problem:   
   
Because of the Commonwealth Games here in Melbourne this year the various   
Australian states that do Daylight Savings Time have put back the end of DST to   
April 2nd for 2006 (was March 26th).   
   
However, this is not reflected in the glibc-common in RH7.3 yet.   
   
$ zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne | grep 2006

A corrected TZ file from FC4 shows that it should be:
