I am having a problem updating my timezone data.
Here is an example.
# rpm -q tzdata
tzdata-2005m-1.fc4
# rpm -U --allfiles --force tzdata-2006g-1.fc4.src.rpm
# rpm -q tzdata
tzdata-2005m-1.fc4
And the files in /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/
are unchanged.
That one doesn't seem to work. At least it didn't for me.
I downloaded the tzdata-2007 SRPM for FC6. I tried to rpmbuild -bi it.
It would not install. However, a brief bit of learning later I looked
I copied its time zone information from:
/var/tmp/tzdata-root/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
and copied it to:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
Then I copied that to /etc/localtime
Bingo - updated.
YMMV - particularly with regards to which file to copy.
