[Bug 1172015] Re: Sydney timezone is in the wrong location

[Timothy Arceri]

I too as an Australian have noticed this in the past. Looking at the
Ubiquity source the code that produces these locations is in:
ubiquity/tz.py

It processes the locations from the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab
which is from the Unix tz database and looking at the file on my 13.04
system it seems the Sydney location is pretty much correct: -33.52
+151.13. Its possible that the code that parses the locations isn't
working correctly. Are there other citys around the world in the wrong
place or is it just Sydney?

  Sydney timezone is in the wrong location

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In ubiquity, the timezone marker points at least 500km away from
  sydney. it seems to be in the ACT(canberra) rather than new south
  wales.

  This occurs both with auto-locate and when manually selecting the
  location.
