I can't reproduce this with a current Gutsy daily build (but to my knowledge nothing changed here since the last Tribe release); I selected English as my language, Serbia as my country, and got Belgrade as my timezone. Are you seeing the timezone in some piece of graphical user interface? What does /etc/timezone say? Sarajevo is the same timezone as Belgrade, so maybe something is displaying one as the other. |
This is a system-tools-backends bug. Observe the following code in /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/Time/TimeDate.pm:
*TZLIST = &Utils::File::open_read_from_names($zoneinfo_dir . "/zone.tab");
if (not *TZLIST) { return; }
&Utils::Report::do_report ("time_timezone_scan");
# Get the filesize for /etc/localtime so that we don't have to execute
# a diff for every file, only for file with the correct size. This speeds
# up loading
$size_search = (stat ($local_time_file))[7];
while (<TZLIST>)
{
if (/^\#/) { next; } # Skip comments.
($d, $d, $zone) = split /[\t ]+/, $_; # Get 3rd column.
chomp $zone; # Remove linefeeds.
# See if this zone file matches the installed one.
&Utils::Report::do_report ("time_timezone_cmp", $zone);
$size_test = (stat("$zoneinfo_dir/$zone"))[7];
if ($size_test eq $size_search)
{
if (!&Utils::File::run ("diff $zoneinfo_dir/$zone $local_time_file"))
{
# Found a match.
last;
}
}
$zone = "";
}
close (TZLIST);
return $zone;
This means that the first zone listed in /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab whose zone file matches the contents of /etc/localtime (since we don't set up /etc/localtime as a symlink for various other good reasons) will be used. In this case, that happens to be Europe/Sarajevo, because Europe/Sarajevo is a copy of Europe/Belgrade and is the default for Bosnia, which comes before Serbia in zone.tab.
I think the correct fix for this bug is to attempt to open /etc/timezone and check whether the timezone named there matches the contents of /etc/localtime, before doing this exhaustive search. That would be faster as well.
