Bug Description
When running the following, I get the correct time zone, but incorrect local time:
~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Current default time zone: 'Asia/Jerusalem'
Local time is now: Thu Sep 24 22:20:38 IDT 2015.
Universal Time is now: Thu Sep 24 19:20:38 UTC 2015.
The correct local time is, in fact, 20:20, so, apparently, the current version of tzdata in Precise is way off.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
tzdata 2023c still says that Jerusalem had a 3 hours offset:
```
$ LC_ALL=C TZ=Asia/Jerusalem date -d "2015-09-24 19:20:38 Z"
Thu Sep 24 22:20:38 IDT 2015
```
So your clock was set incorrectly (two hour offset).
