it seems that either diff, or egrep doesn't exist on your system.
Maybe it's only "grep -e" instead of egrep on debian systems?
Or you've still to install diff?

You must be kidding, right? :^) Linux/UNIX without diff or egrep?
Both "grep" and "diff" packages have priority "required" - i.e. the
system must have them even if nothing else depends on them. (egrep is
just a wrapper for grep).


I assume that these error messages are part of the content of the variable
LOCALTIME. So the missing commands seems to be in the part of the
detection of the local timezone (lines 888-904).

Maybe you can find out what causes this error and send me the solution.

You have a redundant '-iname \"*\"' on line 900. You don't need it.
Removing it from the command line on my interactive shell made things
look better.

Also I'd use "cmp -s" and check its exit status instead of relying on
diff's output.

Besides - why don't you just look at the content of /etc/timzone?
