gnome-panel clock claims Beijing observes KST

[Mary Gardiner]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Ubuntu release: Hardy

Package version of gnome-panel: 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu1

Package version of tzdata: 2008a-1ubuntu1

If I go to the panel clock and select Locations then Edit, then Add, then Find and search for 'Beijing' and select 'Capital International Airport', the timezone selected is "Asia/Pyongyang", as in the attached screenshot. This is not the correct timezone for Beijing, which is on Chinese Standard Time (UTC+8, no daylight savings). Asia/Pyongyang is KST, which is UTC+9, again with no daylight savings.

This results in the Beijing clock under Locations being one hour ahead of their actual time.

My system clock is on local time, not UTC:

$ cat /etc/adjtime
-0.157515 1205476565 0.000000
1205476565
LOCAL
