[Bug 837054] Re: Time Zone selection shows about 20 different "New York"s and doesn't autoselect my location

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Thanks for your report.

I can confirm with other cities like Paris. The list contains weird
names (Lungsod ng Paris - Île-de-France, France ), wrong spelling (París
- Paris - Île-de-France, France) - looks like a spanish spelling - and
duplicates

Title:
  Time Zone selection shows about 20 different "New York"s and doesn't
  autoselect my location

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This is an install test of Oneiric B1 on a VBox VM.  I'm running 64bit
  Oneiric on a 64bit VM.

  When the timezone selection opens up after installation begins, my
  time zone is not automatically selected as it has been in previous
  versions.  When I type in New York, a selection box opens up listing
  New York about 20 - 30 times, most of them being identical entries,
  some being weird, like "New York borg" and "New York kenti".
