Thanks, filed against chrony to fix that. chrony: Uses right/UTC and needs Requires: tzdata https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2218368 My opinion is that this all part of the work required to make the distribution more flexible for deploying as the basis for containerized workloads. If you know of any other such missing dependencies we should file bugs and get them fixed. -- Cheers, Carlos. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
