Bug 94088 – clock screwed when using 'Portugal' timezone

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Nuno Lopes 2005-05-26 07:49:41 UTC]

I've installed gentoo in my pc and I've selected (linked) the 'Portugal' 
timezone and I've changed the clockinfo from 'utc' to 'local'.
The problem is that when I reboot, the clock looses a couple of minutes. And 
in one day, it may loose a couple of hours.

If I change the zoneinfo to GMT, no problem appens, although the clock is one 
hour late (because of DST).

Reproducible: Always

You did not post emerge --info output. At least glibc version is needed. You
should probably try to re-emerge glibc first just to see whether the timezone
file did not get corrupt somehow.

Please post emerge --info, like Jakub requested above.

The system is pretty new. Its a clean install with less than a month.
