[gentoo-dev] Gentoo 1.2 to 1.4 update looses zoneinfo

[Peter Ruskin]

I couldn't work out why my clock was an hour adrift and I was unable to 
set the timezone in KDE Control Centre.

I did `ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London` but still no zones.

The reason was that /usr/share/zoneinfo had mysteriously disappeared.  It 
now works OK after I copied over /usr/share/zoneinfo from my Mandrake 
partition.  What on earth could have killed that directory?

Phew - this is a big upgrade.  All KDE apps have to be rebuilt, after Qt 
and arts.

After upgrading form glibc-2.2.5-r5 to -r7 the same happened over here. 
Didn't solve this yet. (Possibliy I'm gonna remerge -r5 tar the 
directory and emerge newer version again ...

Did You file a bug?
