Bug Description

I get an 'UnknownTimeZone' error when I login to the Ubuntu wiki through the launchpad openid. My timezone is 'Asia/Kolkata' in launchpad and that's the cause of the error, I believe.

On the ubuntu wiki, I clicked on 'Login/Register' and it took me to 'Launchpad' to confirm the Sign In and I did that. After that I was shown an error page. I've attached the page too.

I don't know if it's a launchpad bug or a MoinMoin bug.

The timezone database on the wiki server needs to be updated - Asia/Kolkata was added to the Olson timezone database recently.

Alternatively, the wiki software or the openid plugin needs to be updated to cope better with unknown timezones.

For reference here is a link to the ticket which I opened in the request tracker on 25 July 2009:

https://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=7110 (user/pass is ubuntu/ubuntu)

I'm moving the bug to moin-openid which is the project responsible for how the wiki and launchpad communicate - they may be able to resolve the issue.

Please migrate to the latest MoinMoin, as per their site, the error was due to use of obsolete MoinMoin
