$

Reproducible: Always

Thousands of log messages daily.

Expected Results:  
No (or perhaps one) log message.

Comment 1 Laurent Montel 2016-08-04 06:58:03 UTC

Can't reproduce it.
It seems to be a distro problem

Comment 2 Garry Williams 2016-08-04 11:57:14 UTC

Seems to be fixed now also.

Sorry for the noise.

Comment 3 Garry Williams 2016-12-02 16:19:55 UTC

It's back with kontact-16.08.2-1.fc25.x86_64

kontact[9252]: Cannot open  "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Eastern Standard Time"

$ journalctl -b|grep -c 'Eastern Standard Time'

$

Comment 4 Erik Quaeghebeur 2017-09-13 08:33:13 UTC

I can confirm this issue.

For me it's

  korgac[…]: Cannot open  "/usr/share/zoneinfo/W. Europe Standard Time" 

It may be related to the fact that I am connecting to an Exchange server through davmail. Perhaps the same issue is encountered using akonadi-ews, see 

  https://github.com/KrissN/akonadi-ews/issues/6

Does korgac also use the QTimeZone::windowsIdTo*IanaId methods? If yes, I guess a Qt bug should be filed. Then this can be closed as RESOLVED UPSTREAM.

I removed the davmail account yesterday, but today still the error message appears.

Comment 6 Garry Williams 2017-12-06 17:23:29 UTC

This bug went away for me.

    kontact-17.08.3-1.fc27.x86_64

may have fixed it.  Two systems are now *not* complaining about "Cannot open".  One uses gmail and the other uses davmail for Exchange.

I think this bug should now be closed.

I'm afraid I must disagree. I'm also on 17.08.3 and still get the message.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

Comment 9 Erik Quaeghebeur 2022-11-11 08:46:24 UTC

Cannot reproduce anymore.
