Time zone reset in upgrade to 7.10

[ScottRippon]

Dear Ubuntu team

I recently upgraded my laptop (Acer Aspire 1640) from Ubuntu 7.06 to 7.10 using the system update.

Because we've just moved into daylight savings I opened up the 'Time and Date Settings' to update the time.
When the window opened I noticed my time zone setting (Australia/Melbourne) had been reset and was now blank.

This is a really minor one but I thought I better report it.
Sorry if this has already been reported.

Kind regards,
Scott Rippon.

Indeed, if your computer has the right time zone set, DST change should happen automatically. Did you already fix the timezone? What does

  cat /etc/timezone

print out?

Dear Martin

Thank you for getting back to me.
It was a while ago but I think after I found the 'Time zone' field had been reset I set it back to 'Australia/Melbourne'.
This is what /etc/timezone presently contains.

Cheers,
Scott.

So all seems settled for you now? I'm closing this bug then.

Please tell me if there are still problems, then I'll reopen this. Thank you!
