Perhaps the experiment needs to wrap up and that stuff needs to be enabled, if it'll fix this.
That stuff is already enabled; see the example transcript below, which locates Iceland in the Atlantic Ocean. My guess is that the users were running an old version of tzcode, and merely need to upgrade. $ tzselect Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly. Please select a continent, ocean, "coord", "TZ", or "time". 1) Africa 2) Americas 3) Antarctica 4) Arctic Ocean 5) Asia 6) Atlantic Ocean 7) Australia 8) Europe 9) Indian Ocean 10) Pacific Ocean 11) coord - I want to use geographical coordinates. 12) TZ - I want to specify the timezone using the Posix TZ format. 13) time - I know local time already. #? 6 Please select a country whose clocks agree with yours. 1) Bermuda 2) Cape Verde 3) Falkland Islands 4) Faroe Islands 5) Iceland 6) Portugal 7) South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands 8) Spain 9) St Helena #? 5 Based on the following information: Iceland TZ='Africa/Abidjan' will be used. Selected time is now: Fri Nov 10 03:08:06 GMT 2023. Universal Time is now: Fri Nov 10 03:08:06 UTC 2023. Is the above information OK? 1) Yes 2) No #? 1 You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line TZ='Africa/Abidjan'; export TZ to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in again. Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you can use the /tmp/tz/usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts: Africa/Abidjan
