It was decided today that Argentina will not change to DST this sunday 2009-10-18, so sys-libs/timezone-data requires an update. News reports about it (in spanish): http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/ultimas/20-133580-2009-10-16.html http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1186963&pid=7542694&toi=6275 http://www.clarin.com/diario/2009/10/16/um/m-02020173.htm Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. date --date="+3days" Actual Results: The time is changed Expected Results: The time should not be changed There's a similar report in debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551195 In the patch there are some debian-specific files but there is also the "southamerica" file so you can use that, I guess.
Looks to me like it should be fixed upstream, but anyway, here's the Debian patch: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=tzdata-argentina.patch;att=1;bug=551195>
