Description Philipp Hahn

2011-10-18 11:12:19 CEST

/etc/localtime sollte kein Symlink sein, der auf /usr/share/zoneinfo/... verweist, da dies ggf. auf einer anderen Partition liegt, die zum Boot-Zeitpunkt noch nicht verfügbar ist. Siehe auch <http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2006-April/msg00017.html>

Statt dessen sollte die Datei kopiert werden.
In /etc/timezone steht der Name, so daß nach einem Update von "tzdata" ggf. aktualisierte TZ-Daten erneut nach /etc/localtime kopiert werden kann. Vgl. "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" bzw. /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst

$ gfind -n /etc/localtime
./univention-installer/scripts/28_postconfigure_config_registry.sh:274:ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$timezone /etc/localtime
./univention-system-setup/usr/lib/univention-system-setup/scripts/timezone/10timezone:54:ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$timezone /etc/localtime
./univention-debootstrap/usr/share/debootstrap-ucs3/scripts/ucs3:109:   if [ ! -e "$TARGET/etc/localtime" ]; then
./univention-debootstrap/usr/share/debootstrap-ucs3/scripts/ucs3:110:           ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC "$TARGET/etc/localtime"

This issue has been filed against UCS 2.4.

UCS 2.4 is out of maintenance and many UCS components have vastly changed in
later releases. Thus, this issue is now being closed.

If this issue still occurs in newer UCS versions, please use "Clone this bug".
In this case please provide detailed information on how this issue is affecting
you.
