I notice that in bug 113816 we have already bumped the version. This has not trickled down to me yet and the upstream source ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ has already removed the 2005n dataset. Bearing in mind the number of updates per year and the fact that the current upstream source does not archive old datasets you might want to consider adding\using http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/timezone/ as the SRC_URI since they archive the old datasets. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
the data files are mirrored on all GENTOO_MIRRORS
