Description Zhanibek Adilbekov 2016-04-28 23:48:36 UTC 
Description:
After upgrading tzdata to 2016d version some of applications unable to determine right timezone for all zones which belong to Kazakhstan. I personally use Asia/Almaty (which is +06:00 and no DST) on my machine (Arch Linux with Plasma 5.6), and it leads some programs to produce unexpected results. E.g.: Digital Clock applet shows -12 hours from current time and Plasma Lockscreen shows time in UTC.
I tried downgrade to 2016c and it works just fine.

Please fix the issue, or at least return to previous state (which worked fine). Thanks!

I've posted issue to tz@iana.org today. No feedback, yet.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. You should have KDE Plasma 5.6.3 DE installed (not tested on other software)
2. Install tzdata-2016d-1-any package
3. Set your time zone to Asia/Almaty
3.1 Go to Lockscreen. You'll see that time shown in UTC
3.2 Add "Digital Clock" widget to your desktop. In settings of widget set time zone to Local or Asia/Almaty.

Actual Results:  
Digital Clock widget shows 12 hours before current time

Expected Results:  
It should show time in +06 UTC offset

Then the bug is in the tzdata package. Please report a bug there
