Bug ID: 210197
Summary: tzsetup fails to update /var/db/zoneinfo in certain
invocations
Product: Base System
Version: 10.3-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: alcarithe...@gmail.com
The following happens on reliably on my 10.3-RELEASE system.
I attempted to change my time zone with `tzsetup
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles` and discovered that /var/db/zoneinfo
did not update.
It updates correctly when I run the similar command `tzsetup -s
America/Los_Angeles`, and when I select my timezone from the menu with
`tzsetup`.
Reproduction steps:
Give the system a known timezone. I'll use "America/Santiago".
# tzsetup -s America/Santiago
# cat /var/db/zoneinfo
America/Santiago
# date +%Z
CLT
Pick a new timezone, such as "America/Los_Angeles".
# tzsetup /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles # press enter at both prompts
Observe that /var/db/zoneinfo was not updated.
# cat /var/db/zoneinfo
America/Santiago
Observe that the timezone did in fact change.
# date +%Z
PDT
