I also have libc6 2.1.3-7 (I was 'apt-get dist-upgrade' up-to-date before the time-change weekend arrived). And I had the problem with EST5EDT, though not when I experimentally switched to America/New_York. When I then reset to EST5EDT using tzconfig the problem returned (date reported EST and 1 hour off). On a hunch I manually copied /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT to /etc/localtime (instead of the version installed by tzconfig, which based on file size and diff results seemed to be /usr/share/zoneinfo/SystemV/EST5EDT). Then date reported the right time zone (EDT) and time. I had to stop/start cron, etc. Then all was well. I then tried tzconfig again (and it broke the system), and then yet again manually fixed it. This last experiment was not to cause myself more trouble, but just because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. - MikeT -- Michael E.
