[gentoo-user] Logwatch and TimeZone Errors

[gentoo-user] Logwatch and TimeZone Errors

[Ow Mun Heng]

Has anyone seen this problem? I've tried to rebuild perl and logwatch
and timezone-data

ERROR: Date::Manip unable to determine TimeZone.

I have been through this, Perl doesn't understand Far Eastern time zones like
this:

	robin@opal ~ $ date
	Thu Nov  2 17:52:10 ICT 2006

I resorted to hacking /etc/cron.daily/00-logwatch and adding:

	export TZ="+0700"

which fixes the problem. Adjust your offset accordingly... :)

Thanks. It works.

$ date

export TZ="+0800"
