Bug Description

In gnome clock applet when I add Astana, Kazakstan as a location, it automatically selects "Western Kazakhstan (GMT +5)" timezone. The correct value should be "Eastern Kazakhstan (GMT +6)", same as for Almaty.

This problem persisted through at least three generations of Ubuntu and still present in alpha 10.4.
Would be good if it finally gets resolved.

Thanks!

No I have not filed any upstream bugs.
My search lead to this page: https://launchpad.net/libgweather and I couldn't find where to go further.

I am afraid, I don't think I can contribute a quality patch myself yet.
