Looking more closely, ‘system_timezone_find’ first tries to see if
/etc/localtime is a symlink and if yes reads its target (but it’s never
a symlink, AFAIK), and later on tries to compare /etc/localtime to files
found under ‘SYSTEM_ZONEINFODIR’.
Problem is:
#define SYSTEM_ZONEINFODIR "/usr/share/zoneinfo"
So probably, if you substitute “/usr/” with the prefix of the ‘tzdata’
package, it’ll work much better. :-)
Let me know how it goes!
Ludo’.
