• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Rickard Närström 2007-08-25 20:07:19 UTC]

+++ This is the same problem as described in bug #124188 +++

After changing to a UTC timezone all test succeeds.

(I haven't runed test ignored by the ebuild.)

[Comment 1 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) 2010-10-27 10:26:16 UTC]

Can this still be reproduced with recent Python? IIRC I ran the tests with Europe/Amsterdam as the timezone and I didn't see any failures like these.

[Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-10-29 20:10:49 UTC]

(In reply to comment #1)

TAI timezones are in /usr/share/zoneinfo/right directory.

[Comment 3 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2015-09-14 07:06:49 UTC]

/usr/share/zoneinfo/TAI no longer even exists
