Description Tim Mason 2019-01-06 21:32:19 UTC
Looking at the meta data for the package when you attempt to follow the link at http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm, the page is 404.

Reproducible: Always

Proposed patch

This patch just removes the second listed homepage, which 404s.

The homepage is not referenced anywhere else in the ebuild.

    sys-libs/timezone-data: remove old URL from HOMEPAGE metadata
    
    The ebuild contains a reference to http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm,
    which now leads to a 404.
    
    This just removes the URL from the HOMEPAGE variable in the ebuild,
    as it is the only place in the ebuild where this URL or domain exist.
