Bug Description

On change to summer time, repeating events that were entered while winter time was active now fire an hour late.

For example, an event initially scheduled to fire at 11:45 now fires at 12:45

1.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release: 16.04

2.
$ apt-cache policy kalarm
kalarm:
  Installed: 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1 500
        500 http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3. What I expected to happen:
- Time shown in summary should be 11:45
- Time shown in details (after doubleclicking the event) should be 11:45
- The event should fire at 11:45

4. What happens instead:
- Time shown in summary should be 12:45
- Time shown in details (after doubleclicking the event) in indeed 11:45
- The event fires at 12:45
