Package: timezones
Version: 2.0.5c-0.1

On my computer, when upgrading to the latest version of timezones
(and other packages), the time was setup on bootup incorrectly. This
is becuase I have my internal clock set to GMT, and the file
/etc/localtime was not created because /etc/timezone existed. I
had to force manual configuration of the time zone in order to fix
the problem.
