Has anyone done a recent install from a Debian testing/wheezy ISO and found that Victoria has disappeared?
As at Lucid 10.04.0, d-i detected I was in Victoria/Australia but the timezone was supposed to be Melbourne/Australia. In current 10.04 d-i this doesn't throw an error, but I don't know how it was fixed.
This might shed a little light: Ubuntu 10.04: mattcen@bbq:tmp$ ls -il /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/{Melbourne,Victoria} 541788 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2183 2011-11-03 01:15 /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/Melbourne 541788 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2183 2011-11-03 01:15 /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/Victoria Debian 6.0.3: mattcen@owen:tmp$ ls -il /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/{Melbourne,Victoria} 65952 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2183 Sep 27 04:43 /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/Melbourne 65952 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2183 Sep 27 04:43 /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/Victoria Debian Wheezy: mattcen@andy:tmp$ ls -il /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/{Melbourne,Victoria} 7207 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Nov 1 09:35 /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/Melbourne -> Victoria 6364 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2183 Nov 1 09:35 /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Australia/Victoria
AFAIK Victoria/Australia has NEVER been a valid timezone in tzdata. -- Regards, Matthew Cengia
