Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
A new tzdata package that updates Daylight Saving Time observations for
several countries and regions is now available.
Description
The tzdata package contains data files with rules for various time zones
around the world.
This updated package addresses the following change to Daylight Saving Time
(DST) observations:
- although DST was previously announced as beginning in Pakistan on
2010-01-04, it has now been confirmed Pakistan will not observe any DST in
2010. (BZ#577710, BZ#577835, BZ#577837)
- after observing DST as a trial in 2009, Bangladesh announced it will not
observe DST in 2010. (Previous announcements had Bangladesh switching to
DST on 2010-04-01. This will now not happen.) (BZ#576268, BZ#576613,
BZ#576614)
- Tunisia did not observer DST in 2009, remaining on UTC+1. On 2010-02-27,
it was announced Tunisia would also not observe DST in 2010. (BZ#577793,
BZ#577841, BZ#577842)
- On 2010-03-28, the number of time zones used in Russia was reduced from
eleven to nine. Two regions -- the Samara Oblast and the Udmurt Republic --
were switched from UTC+4 to UTC+3. Two others regions -- the Kamchatka Krai
and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug -- were switched to UTC+11. (BZ#576268,
BZ#576613, BZ#576614)
- On 2010-03-17, it was announced Syria would move to DST on 2010-04-02 at
00:00. This is one week later than the previously gazetted date of
2010-03-26. (No BZ#)
- DST transition dates and times for several Australian Antarctic Stations
were changed. Casey station switched back to UTC+8 on 2010-03-10; Davis
Station switched back to UTC+7 on 2010-03-10. Macquarie Island station will
remain at UTC+11 and will not switch back to UTC+10 when Tasmania ends its
DST observance on 2010-04-04, as was previously gazetted. (No BZ#)
- as announced on 25th March 2010, DST in the Gaza Strip will start on
2010-03-27 at 00:01. This is 24-hours after DST begins in the West Bank and
Israel. (No BZ#)
- Samoa's DST transition date was corrected. (No BZ#)
Additionally, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, this update brings timezone
data for Java Runtime Environment, in the included subpackage tzdata-java.
(BZ#576611)

advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds this enhancement.
