Description Nico Gulden

Customer feedback from Ticket#2017060921000241.

In the UCS version 4.2 the UTC binary in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ is overwritten by file /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin.

Received invitations in Zimbra and Kopano are scheduled two hours too early. 

Workaround: Restore the original UTC file.

How was the setup done? DVD/Appliance/...?

On my system with Kopano installed everything seems to be correct:
# cat /etc/timezone
Europe/Berlin

# md5sum /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
4790e83465681cefbf852aed265354bf  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
# md5sum /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC 
c79354b8dbee09e62bbc3fb544853283  /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

I requested more information from the feedback source.

Response from the user: UCS-Installation-amd64.iso

With a fresh installation from DVD the file is not overwritten.

Customer reported that he installed via iso on a Proxmox virtual environment.

Comment 6 Christina Scheinig

I could reproduce the issue in my test environment. Proxmox is not the problem here.
To reproduce you need to install a UCS 4.2 and Kopano-core (Kopano-WebApp).  md5sum /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC is still correct:
c79354b8dbee09e62bbc3fb544853283  /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

But after installing Nextcloud via Appcenter /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC is overwritten:
md5sum /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC 
4790e83465681cefbf852aed265354bf  /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

Comment 7 Stefan Gohmann

Thanks, so it seems to be an App Center / Docker issue.

Comment 8 Felix Botner

Problem is:

/etc/localtime is a link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC in some docker apps. On the host the overlay merged dir looks like this

-> ls -al /var/lib/docker/overlay/f5f703e54212582833eba5577a838efda3d8c03864291a76e9f40a51ba3f6b7c/merged/etc/localtime 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jul 19 16:41 /var/lib/docker/overlay/f5f703e54212582833eba5577a838efda3d8c03864291a76e9f40a51ba3f6b7c/merged/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC

-> ls -la /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov 24  2016 /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC -> ../UTC

And the AppCenter always copies /etc/localtime to the container. Unfortunately, the appcenter copies the file on the host and overwrites /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC with /etc/localtime.

Fix: Use docker cp in the AppCenter
   docker cp [--help] CONTAINER:SRC_PATH DEST_PATH|-
   docker cp [--help] SRC_PATH|- CONTAINER:DEST_PATH
   The CONTAINER can be a running  or  stopped  container.

Repair broken systems:

-> univention-install --reinstall tzdata

on the host repairs (reinstalls) the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC

Comment 9 Felix Botner

2017-08-03 12:04:16 CEST

added cp_to_container and cp_from_container (docker cp) and replaced  _copy_files_into_ in docker_base

QA:

previously /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC got overwritten on the host during the owncloud/nextcloud installation. So at least check

 md5sum /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

before and after the installation on the host.

Works as expected.
