DST change over not correct....

[colinjones]

In the eastern states of Australia, we have just entered DST - but this is several weeks earlier than usual as they changed the rule (again!) this year. LMCE hasn't updated so is now out by an hour, and I assume this is because the auto update system is disabled.

So I tried sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install tzdata but it says it is the most recent version. When I zdump -v Australia/Sydney | grep 2008 I can see it still thinks the change over is at the end of October.

Any ideas on what I need to do?

Download the package from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-updates/tzdata, and install it manually with "dpkg -i tzdata_2008e-0ubuntu0.7.10_all.deb"

woo hoo! Thanks Zearc, worked perfectly! Stupid question, but why did updating apt-get and then trying to reinstall tzdata not pick up the new version and install it?

Because apt is pinned down to prevent it from breaking your system with upgrades.
