Bugzilla Automation <bugzi...@freebsd.org> has asked freebsd-kde (group) <k...@freebsd.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 285244: x11/kde: qt6 version does not read /etc/localtime if it is not a symlink https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285244
--- Description --- Scenario: - FreeBSD stable/14 ca. Feb. 1 - ports latest - Last port upgrade ca. Jan 30 (before kde was moved to qt6) - Upgrading ports using portmaster on a build machine - Running pkg repo on the build machine - Upgrading ports on a client machine using pkg upgrade Result: - x11/kde5 gets replaced by x11/kde, plus numerous other ports similarly - When using the new desktop for the first time, all clocks etc. complain about "timezone not being set" Scenario (continued): - Selecting the timezone via the settings menu - Prompted to enter root credentials, entering Result: - The timezone is now recognized correctly. Analysis: - Before, /etc/localtime was a copy of /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Vienna - Now, it is a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Vienna - Obviously, the new code needs the symlink to function correctly Problem: - In single-user mode, /usr/share/zoneinfo is not available Bug: - kde should use the timezone parsing functions instead of looking at a symlink. -- Martin
