Description
Some time zone (TZ) database names are not working correctly. Instead of the time according to the time zone, the time in UTC is shown.
How to reproduce:
TZ='CET' date
Sun Mar 24 13:19:35 CET 2019
TZ='EST' date
Sun Mar 24 13:19:41 EST 2019
TZ='UTC' date
Sun Mar 24 13:19:49 UTC 2019
The time is always UTC.
For these TZ database names it is working OK:
'America/New_York', 'Europe/Paris' ...
TZ='America/New_York' date
Sun Mar 24 09:20:18 EDT 2019
TZ='Europe/Paris' date
Sun Mar 24 14:20:32 CET 2019
Expected behavior: CET, EST, EDT etc. should be supported and working as expected, showing the correct time for each selected time zone.
Remark:
The time zone files are installed here:
/usr/share/zoneinfo
But they seem to not be working properly (or are not found).
