Bug#584246: Just did a netinstall; problem is gone

[Weldon Goree]

Readme.txt on the install iso says: 

Debian GNU/Linux testing "Squeeze" - Official Snapshot i386 CD Binary-1
20100517-04:30

I was careless with my terms in the last email; I didn't do a net
install. I did a normal CD install but opted to use the mirrors after
the tasksel. 

To clarify, since I think I'm not being clear (both installs using the
same ISO listed above):

Install one: no network access, just install from the CD: Clock applet
time zone in different format from /etc/timezone. Weather report in
Clock doesn't work.

Install two: network access, mirrors used during install: Clock applet
time zone in same format as /etc/timezone. Weather report in Clock
works.

So, this seems to be fixed, and I will flog myself for submitting a bug
before trying a full network-capable install.

Cheers,
WMG
