tzdata gone mad?
Thursday May 17 8:55:09 2012
Somehow my local clock went mad after playing with a live gnome 3.4
usb image I downloaded from their official site (Fedora based). No
matter what I did I couldn't set it correctly again.
Back to my regular debian installation (wheezy) I still wasn't able
to set the clock to the right time. I have had to
reconfigure tzdata to Australia/Perth to get my local time. I'm in
Spain :(
chals@aelita:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Current default time zone: 'Australia/Perth'
Local time is now: Fri May 18 10:44:59 WST 2012.
Universal Time is now: Fri May 18 02:44:59 UTC 2012.
Before I got (once and again for several days):
chals@aelita:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Current default time zone: 'Europe/Madrid'
Local time is now: Fri May 18 04:34:39 CEST 2012.
Universal Time is now: Fri May 18 02:34:39 UTC 2012.
or
chals@aelita:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Current default time zone: 'Europe/Andorra'
Local time is now: Fri May 18 04:35:14 CEST 2012.
Universal Time is now: Fri May 18 02:35:14 UTC 2012.
a bug in ntp? or am I missing something about timezones?
(Reminder: I'm completely against the fact that only root can set the
time on a system)
UPDATE (05-18-12):
The "suspected" bug on ntp seemed to exist (even though I didn't
check the bts) because I upgraded ntp and now it works fine. Thanks
guys for fixing it.
