      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0200       CHRS: CP850 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20240604       MSGID: 2:280/464 67ee5e7a       REPLY: 2:280/464 67ec45b9       Hi Mike,              On 2025-04-01 21:54:17, I wrote to you:               WvV> On Ubuntu I've only once set /etc/localtime to symlink to        WvV> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam (in my case). As described in        WvV> 'man 5 localtime'. I've never touched or editted /etc/timezone. That        WvV> might be set automatically (on boot, but I don't really know), from        WvV> where /etc/localtime links to...               WvV> This is on multiple servers, that have been running for years, and are       kept up        WvV> to date regularly.              Today there was a tzdata update on those Ubuntu servers:              Unpacking: tzdata (2025b-0ubuntu0.22.04) over (2025a-0ubuntu0.22.04)       Setting up: tzdata (2025b-0ubuntu0.22.04)              Current default time zone: 'Europe/Amsterdam'       Local time is now: Thu Apr 3 10:29:57 CEST 2025.       Universal Time is now: Thu Apr 3 08:29:57 UTC 2025.       Run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' if you wish to change it.              All went smoothly.              /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone have a new timestamp (set to the date/time of       the update). And are still correct...                     Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 18/200 50/22 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/305       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/0 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 111 114 206 275 300 317 400 426 428 470 550 616 664       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 5020/400 545 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
