Title:
  tzdata for Egypt are incorrect

Status in “tzdata” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 8.04.4, i386
  tzdata 2011g

  # dpkg -s tzdata | grep Ver
  Version: 2011g~repack-0ubuntu0.8.04

  Timezone for Egypt (Cairo) is set to GMT. I think this is not correct
  and should be +7200 (no DST). Notice gmtoff in the following list:

  # zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt | tail -6
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt  Thu Sep  9 21:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Sep  9 23:59:59 2010 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt  Thu Sep  9 22:00:00 2010 UTC = Fri Sep 10 01:00:00 2010 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt  Thu Sep 30 20:59:59 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 23:59:59 2010 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt  Thu Sep 30 21:00:00 2010 UTC = Thu Sep 30 21:00:00 2010 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt  Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0
  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt  Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0

  BTW, I thing this issue is an evidence that Ubuntu is not used in
  Egypt...
