Upgrading to the 2020-06-02 Tumbleweed snapshot resulted in the creation of a /etc/localtime.rpmnew link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC, I suspect because of this. Luckily, it didn't overwrite my existing /etc/localtime link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles.

You got a "*.rpmnew" file, so everything is fine and working as expected and designed. This means: /etc/localtime was changed in the package, but since you changed it, your changes got not overwritten. And never will be ("config noreplace"). So it did not overwrite your existing file "luckily", but by design.

Yes, of course. The reason I mentioned this was that creating the *.rpmnew file in this case (where the RPM-installed link will almost certainly be modified during system installation) results in time spent by people like me (and others on the opensuse-factory@opensuse.org list) who regularly use rpmconfigcheck after upgrades but aren't familiar with the intricacies of how time zones are configured. That said, I see that there have been fixes applied. Perhaps this issue has been resolved? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
