The main problem is that unattended installation is broken in libosinfo+Boxes for F19. During investigation, I misunderstood that '--utc' is also problematic but now that I tested again, its not. The real cause is that timezone abbreviations are no longer supported and we must provide a standard tz string, e.g 'Europe/Helsinki' rather than 'EET'. In Boxes we are relying on glib to get us tz and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a glib api to get the tz string rather than abbreviations. Will need to see where/how to get that.. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124 _______________________________________________ Libosinfo mailing list Libosinfo@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libosinfo
