This happens if your /etc/localtime is a copy of the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Oslo timezone (as opposed to a symlink). So the daemon has to compare the file with other existing files to find out which one it is a copy of. It does so alphabetically, which explains why it finds Arctic/* first. Solution: # echo Europe/Oslo > /etc/timezone (as root) Thanks for the workaround: # echo Europe/Oslo > /etc/timezone and then logout/login seems to have solved the problem for me. For the record, this was on Fedora 10, and I did not already have /etc/timezone. Maybe this bug is something packagers should care about, as it will affect most Norwegians (and possibly other folks living in countries with different/identical timezones). Anyway, thanks for helping me out. I live in Oslo too, that's why I knew. In practice, there aren't many countries that have the same timezone spanning two major regions of the world. I can think of this happening in Egypt and Turkey too. (Europe/Istanbul matches Asia/Istanbul, but most people probably don't care) |
