@Tomer Cohen: You seem to be using Raring, which at this moment is on version 2013b of the time zone database. That is why you will only be hit on October 6. All other supported Ubuntu releases are on earlier versions, so all those users were already hit today by this bug. (I am using Quantal, so I was affected.) People testing the unreleased Saucy will not be affected at all, since Saucy is already updated to 2013d. So my statement above that "all Ubuntu-based machines in Israel are now affected" was not quite correct - it is all machines using any supported release of Ubuntu except Raring, and Raring users will soon be affected too.
None of that detracts from the urgency of fixing this bug. For any of the affected releases, I highly recommend the version of the work-around posted above by @Roy Erez. I am glad to see that the current tzdata package has already been ported to Ubuntu and made it into Saucy. Let's hope the Ubuntu team can expedite the process of approving it for backporting to all other supported releases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158834 Title: Daylight saving dates for Asia/Jerusalem need updating To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/1158834/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
