--- Comment #7 from Mark Goldstein
I bumped into the same issue with current TW release: NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # VERSION="20160928" ID=opensuse ID_LIKE="suse" VERSION_ID="20160928"
/etc/localtime is ../../
instead of ../usr/share/zoneinfo/ rpm -q --qf "%{DISTURL}" timezone returns obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Factory/standard/ 29e4864f5e89ba25e9bd87c9cf9bb637-timezone
... and zic -l <timezone> in my case did not restore the correct link. After I removed the link and manually set the correct one, I tried zic -l again and got a wrong value again.
(Tried different timezones with zic -l and got the same broken link ../../<timezone>)
With broken link the system uses UTC as local zone.
If I use full path in zic command, the link is set correctly: zic -l /usr/share/zoneinfo/XXX/YYY links /etc/localtime to ../usr/share/zoneinfo/XXX/YYY -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
