If I set the time in kde via clicking with the right mouse button at clock, than 'Adjust Date & Time ...', type in the root password, I am at this point: tfoerste@nhh221 ~ $ ls -l /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Apr 1 10:00 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin Now I change the time and click apply and got: nhh221 ~ # ls -l /etc/localtime ls: /etc/localtime: No such file or directory This happens if I the language of KDE was set to 'German' (control center -> regional settings). With a language set to US-English the link /etc/localtime is removed immediately after changing the time and is replaced by the file /etc/localtime with a size of 866 byte (binary content). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: The link /etc/localtime should either be replaced by an ordinary file under all conditions (language settings) or should stay as it is.
Wow, this seems like a bad thing to me. You probably should report it to bugs.kde.org.
