Re: /etc/localtime

Suggestion to possibly gain some clues here:

Do an 'ls -l /etc/localtime*' to see where each link is pointing,
presuming they are both symlinks in this case, and of course also
presuming there are two link files there.

While running up2date today I got the following warning:

Will this cause any problems? I don't know what the problem is, but my old
/etc/localtime is a link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Oslo so it
shouldn't be replaced by a binary (or should it?).

I will take a shot at this. Maybe someone can correct or expand on it.


The rpmnew (config files get rpmsave) is actually the old one.
The old link pointed to a binary data file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/, which
was saved as /etc/localtime.rpmnew then the rpm package overwrote it.


There is nothing to worry about, and the "warning" should probably be
a "info" for non-configurable files.
