Hi all. Has anyone done a recent install from a Debian testing/wheezy ISO and found that Victoria has disappeared? I am in the process of doing one at the moment, using the text installer, and Victoria is not listed as a timezone option (see the attached screenshot). I selected "Australia" as the country earlier in the install, and there is no scrolling option for this dialog box (ie. Victoria is not hiding at the end of a scrolling list of states & territories). This install is with the most recent build of the testing netinst.iso (from 22 Feb, http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/). Has anyone else observed this or have I screwed up the install process somehow? I thought I would ask here before reporting it as a bug. Thanks Graeme

I use the daily netinst images and noticed the same, on many installs. The wheezy netinst.iso has the TZ list we're used to.

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. AFAIK Victoria/Australia has NEVER been a valid timezone in tzdata.

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

This omission occured when the tzsetup selection for Australia was changed from city-based to state-based (last year). I have submitted a Debian bug report. Perhaps the best workaround for now is to set the Victoria timezone after the install. Glenn -- pool.sks-keyservers.net 0xb1e82ec9228ac090
