Ever since the introduction of plasma5 I've seen that the digital clock shows the wrong time for my timezone(I've made sure that hwclock is properly set and so is NTP, actually the shows correctly in KDE's config window). This only happens when I select "America/Caracas" as my timezone if I set the timezone to "UTC -4:30"(Which should be the same as "America/Caracas" as it is GMT-4.5) in the digital clock settings the time is then shown correctly(I use this as a workaround). Please note that even though I'm reporting this from Arch this also happens in Fedora(and possibly other distros) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set timezone to "America/Caracas" 2.The clock will show the time but with one hour added(as if DST was enabled but there's no DST in Venezuela) 3. Actual Results: The clock shows the wrong time with one hour being added Expected Results: The clock should show the correct time for my timezone, that is the same value as UTC -4:30 To work around this issue people can just set the timezone to UTC -4:30, however this adds the timezone to the clock and makes it show the time in smaller text. Also worth noting that this problem doesn't happen with the Analog Clock

This is a known Qt bug (we use Qt to give use timezones data). Please see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44614 and according to https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/120779/ it should be fixed in Qt 5.5. So just wait for Qt 5.5 hitting your repos. In the meantime, you could probably try selecting other timezone that has the same time, perhaps that would help. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 343610 ***
