However it also leads to time zones like America/Ensenada, Atlantic/Jan_Mayen, Europe/Tiraspol, and Pacific/Enderbury to change: compared to 2023c-0ubuntu0.22.04.0 - America/Ensenada->only dst changes until 2022 are shown - Atlantic/Jan_Mayen->now valid data is shown - Europe/Tiraspol->only dst changes until 2010 are shown [ Test Plan ] Add an autopkgtest test case for post-1970 symlink consistency: Check that the timezones for today and in half a year (= to cover DST changes) do not change compared to building them without `PACKRATDATA=backzone`. The mentioned timezones that differed can also be tested manually. Running following commands should have the same output (the output mentioned here is from tzdata 2023c-0ubuntu0.22.04.1): ``` $ TZ=America/Ensenada date -d "2023-04-28 13:49 Z" Fri Apr 28 05:49:00 PST 2023 $ TZ=Atlantic/Jan_Mayen date -d "2023-04-28 13:49 Z" Fri Apr 28 12:49:00 -01 2023 $ TZ=Europe/Tiraspol date -d "2023-04-28 13:49 Z" Fri Apr 28 16:49:00 MSK 2023 ``` [ Where problems could occur ] Timezone data could be wrong. Systems with incorrect timezone set may observe unexpected time shift when updating the package.
