Binary package hint: yelp

If Washington, USA time is 12 30pm, time in Bombay, India should be 10pm (9.5 hours ahead) and not 9 hours as the clock shows.

Thank you for your bug report. That is not a yelp bug though

I can't reproduce this on the latest Hardy. Bombay shows the correct time for me (12.5 hours ahead for me). There have been a lot of updates since April 5th.

Guess I figured out what the problem is. Although the name is set to Bombay the time zone was set to PKT, hence the time was showing up according to Karachi, Pakistan time.
To fix it I had to select Asia/Kolkata as the time zone.
Did not realize this earlier, thinking that setting Bombay will automatically select the IST zone.

the timezone selection issue should be fixed in hardy,if that's not the case for your location open a bug against libgweather, closing this one
