Description of problem: All Fedora computers changed to ARST (Argentina Summer Time) but unfortunately, 2 days before the change our president decided that we are not going to change to summer time this year. ARST is -2, we have to remove ARST from the tzdata in order to be on ART -3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tzdata-2009m-2.fc11.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 2. Configure Argentina zone 3. Actual results: [matias@mirror ~]$ date Mon Oct 19 12:17:13 ARST 2009 Expected results: Mon Oct 19 11:17:13 ART 2009 Additional info:

tzdata-2009o-1.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tzdata-2009o-1.fc11
(Despite the release of 1, this update already includes the patch necessary for latest Argentina DST change.)
Petr, it's ok after installing tzdata-2009o-1.fc11.noarch. Thanks
tzdata-2009o-1.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
There is a tzdata RPM for RHEL 4?
The updated package for RHEL 4 is on QA right now.
Looks foo to me still. I didn't change anything with system-config-date. # rpm -q tzdata tzdata-2009o-1.fc11.noarch # date Fri Oct 23 15:26:54 ARST 2009 # ntpdate time.mit.edu 23 Oct 15:27:02 ntpdate[27824]: adjust time server 18.7.21.144 offset 0.011945 sec I did a yum update too. Brilliant move by the government to decide this two days before the change, eh?
(In reply to comment #9) Perhaps your update failed for some reason. Can you try: # rpm -V tzdata If it passes (no output), then: # tzdata-update (which should copy the data file of your timezone over to /etc/localtime) And see if it helps?
Ah, as (late) follow up, all is OK. Thx.
