Bug Description
Setting the timezone in the timeanddate kcm (by right clicking the clock and going to configuration) copies a file from /usr/share/
So for example it tries copying /usr/share/
This results in a bad timezone and time (as it defaults to UTC on a wrong /etc/localtime file).
Instead of copying linking should work here. I attached a patch which fixes this error.
This seems not to be an upstream issue as at least openSUSE is not using symlinks in /usr/share/zoneinfo . So it is debian/ubuntu specific.
