Which is why I always symlink /etc/localtime Not only does it solve
these issues, but it makes it very clear which timezone is selected!

My guess is you had old version of tzdata package, that was updated to
current
version sometime in the past. Now, if you look which package owns
/etc/localtime and /usr/share/zoneinfo stuff, you get:
# rpm -qf /etc/localtime
glibc-2.3.4-2.13
# rpm -qf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern
tzdata-2005m-1.EL4
As far as I can see, tzdata package has no pre/postinstall scripts
associated
with it. That would mean /etc/localtime doesn't get updated when tzdata
is
updated. Unless I missed something, it's probably a bug in tzdata RPM
package.
