Bug in Latest Release of TZ Database ie 2017c
Hi Team As decided by Sudan Government to change time zone from GMT+3 to GMT+2, we were testing TZ update from 2017b --> 2017c and we encountered the following error : Linux TZ version : 2017b --> 2017c ... Failed | "backzone", line 149: duplicate zone name Africa/Juba (file "africa", line 1107) | "backzone", line 150: input line of unknown type | "backzone", line 151: input line of unknown type On little debugging we found that in former version there was a link between Africa/Khartoum & Africa/Juba zones in africa file and Africa/Juba zone entry existed in "backzone" file but in later version same zone entry of Africa/Juba exists in both files ie "africa" & "backzone", causing trouble. Looking forward for an acknowledgement. Regards Sahil Sethi Sr Software Engineer GlogbalLogic, India
Thanks for reporting that. The bug should be fixed in the development version, as described in: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2017-October/025380.html and this should appear in the next release.
