Dear devs, The timezone Brazil/West is providing a wrong time. The configuration is the same from last year, with daylight savings time starting a few days ago which add 1 hour to the time. This year the government decided to stop using daylight savings time, so the system clock should no longer add 1 hour as it used to do. So what needs to be done is to update the Brazil/West timezone configuration so that it no longer adds 1 hour to the clock this time of the year. Example: current correct time is 11:33 at the moment I'm writing this, while the clock shows 12:33 due to the timezone wrong configuration. Thank you!
Does running this fix it? emerge --config timezone-data Your /etc/localtime file is only updated after doing that command.
It appears Brazil/West currently returns UTC-0400 with sys-libs/timezone-data-2019c. % date -u Tue 05 Nov 2019 06:31:43 PM UTC % TZ=Brazil/West date Tue 05 Nov 2019 02:31:47 PM -04 Is that incorrect?
% TZ=Brazil/West date Tue 05 Nov 2019 02:31:47 PM -04 This is correct. Indeed, I'm getting this: gfaccin@arara ~ $ TZ=Brazil/West date Tue 05 Nov 2019 02:57:23 PM -04 gfaccin@arara ~ $ date Tue 05 Nov 2019 03:59:03 PM -03 gfaccin@arara ~ $ cat /etc/timezone Brazil/West gfaccin@arara ~ $ su Password: arara /home/gfaccin # emerge --config timezone-data Configuring pkg... * Updating /etc/localtime with /usr/share/zoneinfo/Brazil/West arara /home/gfaccin # date Tue 05 Nov 2019 04:00:06 PM -03 Strange, is it not? Perhaps has something to do with staying in sync with the latest timezone configurations?
Is the TZ environment variable set to something other than "Brazil/West" in your shell startup scripts? You could test that by running the date command with an empty environment via "env -i". That will force it to use /etc/localtime. env -i date
Please post 'emerge --info sys-libs/timezone-data'. That should show the version installed.

Ok, so 2 things: 1. You have an old version of sys-libs/timezone-data installed. Please upgrade to the latest stable version. 2. Something is setting the TZ variable to a different value on your system. Please check your shell startup files and/or your display manager config if you are using one. Anyway, this appears to be a local config issue, and not a bug.
Likely places to check: /etc/profile /etc/profile.env /etc/bash/bashrc /etc/bash/bashrc.d ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile ~/.bashrc
Mike, You are correct. I had done an "emerge world -uv" prior to reporting and thus though everything was up to date, but sys-libs/timezone-data did not update along with the world packages. It required the -D flag to be included. Thank you all for the help! Cheers!

This will ensure nothing is missed.
