      TZUTC: -0500       MSGID: 8424.fi-linux@1:2320/105 2c51972f       PID: Synchronet 3.20a-Linux master/acc19483f Apr 26 202 GCC 12.2.0       TID: SBBSecho 3.20-Linux master/acc19483f Apr 26 2024 23:04 GCC 12.2.0       BBSID: CAPCITY2       CHRS: ASCII 1       I am running debian. Sometime in the past month, when I received a kernel       upgrade and also a tzdata upgrade, I noticed that the time was wrong on my       system.               Today, I saw (apt list --upgradable) that another tzdata update was coming.       Before I ran apt upgrade, I checked the following:              /etc/localtime -> pointed as shortcut to correct timezone       /etc/timezone -> contained the correct timezone              I watched the apt upgrade run. When it came time for tzdata to reconfigure, it       said:              Current default time zone: 'America/Indiana/Indianapolis'              Which is wrong.              /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone were both now pointed to Indianapolis, which       is wrong and not what they said right before the upgrade.              So I ran dpkg-reconfigure and got it fixed again.               Out of curiousity, I also ran dkpg-reconfigure and then selected "cancel"       without making any choices. Guess what? tzdata set me back to "Indianapolis"!              This is happening on every debian/devuan/raspbian system that I have, and it       started happening sometime during the past month or six weeks after I received       a kernel/tzdata update.              I thought the time zone was saved in the two above places in /etc. Is there       some other place that tzdata is reading from that I need to look at so that, in       future, whenever tzdata gets updated I don't have to remember to go back and       manually fix the time zone each time?              Thanks!       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 18/200 50/22 103/705 104/119 105/81 106/201 120/616 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 128/187 129/305 153/757 7001 7715 154/10 30 50 110 700 203/0       SEEN-BY: 218/700 220/20 90 221/0 6 226/18 30 44 50 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/111 114 206 275 300 310 317 400 426 428 470 550 616 664       SEEN-BY: 229/700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 291/111 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 5858 467/888 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 902/26 2320/0 105 108 3634/12 5020/400 545 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 154/10 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
