If you define your UI based on | tzdb zone names, your UI is broken. Not broken, just less than optimal for some user classes. Like the type that want city XXX listed, because "that's our capital" or because "that lot don't speak French" or ... For example, the NetBSD UI for changing the timezone, or setting it after initial installation (if it wasn't done then) is: ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/xxx/yyy /etc/localtime or echo export TZ=xxx/yyy >> .profile or similar (depending upon what kind of change is being made.) Discovering what to use for xxx/yyy is left to the user (tzselect is not installed.) That works just fine, and is entirely suitable for the kinds of users NetBSD tends to attract. kre ps: there is a menu based approach available during system installation to make this a little easier for first time users.
