Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.30.2-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
glib is unable to detect the correct timezone on my Debian system,
which is configured to CET using /etc/localtime ($TZ is not set).
Running the following test program:
--8<--
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <glib.h>
int main()
{
GDateTime * gdt = g_date_time_new_now_local();
printf("glib: %s\n", g_date_time_format(gdt, "%R %Z"));
char buf[256];
time_t now = time(0);
struct tm *tm = localtime(&now);
strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%R %Z", tm);
printf("libc: %s\n", buf);
return 0;
}
--8<--
produces the output
--8<--
glib: 15:17 UTC
libc: 16:17 CET
--8<--
I would have expected g_date_time_new_now_local() to also produce the
correct local time (CET).
The problem carries over to gnome_wall_clock in libgnome-desktop, and
therefore gnome-screensaver, which is where I noticed the issue.
