Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-02-11 10:37:08 UTC 
This bug comes from https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/4728

To summarize:

"the time-admin tool updates /etc/localtime with the new timezone. the libc6
stuff reads  /etc/timezone and updates /etc/localtime with the 'default'
timezone when it is reconfigured (upgraded, dpkg-reconfigure etc)
...
tzsetup in base-config consistently updates both the /etc/timezone file and the
/etc/localtime symlink. I think time-admin should do the same."

I can't commit this while the backends module is moving to FreeDesktop, but
this is the solution
