Bug Description

Binary package hint: locales

Due to that meddling George W Bush ;-) the date on which Daylight Saving Time starts and ends is changing this year (2007) for people in North America.

I'm not 100% sure, but locales 2.3.18 seems to reference 2006g pack. The latest pack (2007a) is wrong, therefore I assume that 2006g is also wrong.

Specifically I am looking at the 'Edmonton' zone, which should be the same as MST/MDT.

There is no setting for the years > 2006.

False alarm... 'Edmonton' timezone functions correctly

Attached is a simple test so that others can confirm that their system is correct.

try this command to check your timezone info

sudo zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007

and look for this..

/etc/localtime Sun Mar 11 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600
/etc/localtime Sun Mar 11 08:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000
/etc/localtime Sun Nov 4 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000
