   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> This is on multiple servers, that have been running for years, and are

   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.
