I think the problem may lie in the way LFS installs the tzdata package. Glibc 2.15 (and earlier) installed timezone data without leap second information in /usr/share/zoneinfo and /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix (why two copies of the same data, I don't know). Timezone data with leap seconds was installed in /usr/share/zoneinfo/right. At least Debian seems to do it that way too. LFS only installs timezone data with leap seconds in /usr/share/zoneinfo. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
