Yes there is an errata for this. You should install it.

If you are in a bind and need something quick, and I don't recommend to do this instead of installing the patch, but it sure work and you can do:

Download via anonymous ftp:

elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2007d.tar.gz

Note the file above change 4 times so far with updates every few days, or week, so if you don't see this one, then check for the next version as they become available. tzdata2007e.tar.gz. The above one was just release updated as of today.

Then continue with:

tar -xzf tzdata2007d.tar.gz

If you need the North America changes only as an example:

zic -d zoneinfo northamerica

This create the zoneinfo directory

cd zoneinfo

cp -r * /usr/share/zoneinfo/

So, this works and it is quick, but use at your own risk. It work, but that shouldn't stop you from doing the proper patch however. I did this as all the servers will be wipe out anyway in just a few weeks when the 4.1 is release, or sooner when my CD comes in the mail.

Hope this help some.

PS; This doesn't patch all the zone for everyone, just what I needed, so choose wisely, or better yet, use the real patch and do it right.
