[Bug 91637] Re: Evolution displays wrong time after new dst

[Eugene Cormier]

Update: I've solved the problem on my system by going to
the /usr/share/evolution-data-server-1.8/zoneinfo/ folder, then finding
my timezone (which is "America/Halifax.ics") I open the file in gedit
(using sudo) and change the line (after BEGIN:DAYLIGHT):
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=4;BYDAY=1SU
to:
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=3;BYDAY=2SU

the save the file, and type into a console:
killall evolution-2.8
killall evolution-data-server-2.8

then restart evolution and it should now be the right time
(I have no idea if this fixes it forever or if its just for
now....either way...it works for now

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: evolution
  
  I'm in the timezone atlantic/halifax and I've updated my timezone info
  so that my system is working properly, but for some reason Evolution is
  reporting the time one hour early.....Evolution must have it's own time
  zone info (I think I read somewhere that it was a package "libical" but
  I couldn't seem to find that in edgy)
  
  I assume this evolution timezone file should be updated (I'll keep
  searching for it in the mean time)
