Hello, I've logged a feature request with ICU upstream at https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-22278.
In the meantime, we can apply a patch to our icu4c@71 on master or icu4c on core-updates to substitute the zoneinfo file name in --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- "#define TZZONEINFO "/usr/share/zoneinfo/"" --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- from the putil.cpp file of ICU. -- Thanks, Maxim
