I have the following two files --
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime.rpmnew
If I run diff /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.rpmnew I get back "localtime and localtime.rpmnew differ". No details, just that message. The same thing happens if I substitute the /usr/share/... for localtime in the diff command. If I do a cat localtime.rpmnew I get back TZifUTC. If I do a cat localtime, I get back a half-dozen lines or so of unprintable characters (apparently it's a binary file). The date on localtime is 1/19. The date on localtime.rpmnew is 11/25. So, this rpmnew has come out since localtime was created. Somehow I don't feel comfortable swapping the rpmnew in for the rpm. Suggestions?
Forget it, both files. 1) Fire up Yast, time setting whereever it is, choose your timezone (tell it wether your bios clock is in UTC or Local), Ok, done. If you already did that step recently, skip that step completely. 2) Finally, remove the rmpnew file. Those rpmnew files are created by an rpm update (even a YOU run). But, if you don't notice and run yast or otherwise edit the configuration, the rpmnew will be in fact older than the active one; but usually being text files you can decide which settings to copy from one to the other. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
