stupid question but how are we expected to fix that ?

[Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2010-10-25 08:46:46 UTC]

Are you sure having "/etc/localtime" not properly set is a valid situation? I would think this is invalid instead

[Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2010-10-25 10:12:56 UTC]

Feel free to fix as WONTFIX, but maybe you can send this back upstream to see if they can make it more solid… knowing it is the case help though.

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2010-10-25 16:32:35 UTC]

I agree but, at first, could you explain a bit more what do you mean by "/etc/localtime" not being properly set? (not present?) Thanks

[Comment 6 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2010-10-25 16:43:21 UTC]

/usr/share/zoneinfo/Factory set as /etc/localtime produces an error when calling date that the local timezone must be set (the one in the log).
