   Yes, I also did that and it was also working until the recent update I   
   mentioned.  Now, I can symlink /etc/localtime to the correct timezone and it   
   will only stay set until the next time tzdata is updated.  tzdata ignores what   
   is in the /etc/localtime symlink and resets it to point to   
   "America/Indiana/Indianapolis."   
      
   So it is reading that information ("America/Indiana/Indianapolis") from   
   somewhere that is not /etc/localtime and is also not /etc/timezone.  I would   
   like to figure out where from so I can squash it.
