A few days ago I start to recieve such messages from logwatch on my
servers:
================
/etc/cron.daily/00logwatch:
ERROR: Date::Manip unable to determine TimeZone.

Execute the following command in a shell prompt:
        perldoc Date::Manip
        The section titled TIMEZONES describes valid TimeZones
        and where they can be defined.
        run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/00logwatch exited with return code 25
================
I have Asia/Yekaterinburg timezone on my machines. YEKT (winter time)
and YEKST (summer time) does not work.

I add strings
      "yekt   +0500 ".  # Yeakaterinburg time zone, Russia
      "yekst  +0500 ".  # Yeakaterinburg summer time zone, Russia
to file /usr/share/perl5/Date/Manip.pm, then /etc/cron.daily/00logwatch
work properly.
