Hello! I made up a patch for zoneinfo/America/Managua, which we are using by now. You can find it at: http://www.magma.com.ni/sw/time/ It is based on adding the following two entries in /glibc-2.3.2/timezone/northamerica: -6:00 - CST 2005 Apr 10 00:00 -6:00 Nic C%sT I have seen however problems with php too, as well as I suspect that java maintains it's own timezoneinfo. Also, I still have no further notice by now, when the timezone-change will end. Best Regards, Jorge-León P.S.: please apologize for beeing terse and replying late. I *will* try to keep track of this issue and keep you informed. Please identify to whom to report. GOTO Masanori <gotom@debian.or.jp> writes:
