Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2005-04-01 00:17:56 UTC
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.
