tzdata enhancement update

An updated tzdata package that updates Daylight Saving Time observations for
Chile is now available.

The tzdata package contains data files with rules for various time zones around
the world.

This updated package addresses the following changes to Daylight Saving Time
(DST) observations:

* Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, incorrectly used the NOVT abbreviation, which is
UTC+7. With this update, it uses the OMST/OMSST abbreviation and is correctly
assigned the UTC+6 time zone. (BZ#596800)

* Previously, Chile was supposed to switch to the standard time at the end of
March 12, 2011. With this update the daylight saving time is retained for
additional three weeks and the system switches to the standard time at the end
of April 2, 2011. (BZ#681907, BZ#681908, BZ#681594, BZ#681914)

* New zone America/Metlakatla was added to represent time of Metlakatla Indian
Community.

* Mercer County, North Dakota, USA, changed from the Mountain Time Zone to the
Central Time Zone. A zone named America/North_Dakota/Beulah was created to hold
the relevant data.

All users, especially those in the locale affected by this time change and users
interacting with people or systems in the affected locale, are advised to
upgrade to this updated package, which adds these enhancements.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
Network to apply this update are available at
