Bug Description

The timezone for Brazil (i don't know about other countries) is wrong.

America/Maceio, America/Sao_Paulo, for instance, should be UTC -3:00, but in evolution they are UTC -2:00.

The system (linux and gnome) itself is right. That issue appears only in evolution, which affects my tasks, by showing reminders in 1 hour in advance.

Maybe this bug report is related to gnome bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361990

Before you ask, i'm not using daylight saving time.

Looks like calendar/libical/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo.ics is wrong about when summer time starts which creates the issue. There is also a tzdata error fixed the new package available from Debian

Jeff, if you mark as duplicated what happens to the evolution-data-server task? Unduplicating for now because of it

Current tzdata has Sao Paulo as -3:00, so the tzdata task has long been fixed.

As of Evolution 2.21.4, the system tzdata is used. As such, I am marking this bug fixed here.
