Description

The tzdata package version was upgraded from 2019c to 2020c in RCPL 34, because of which the time zone functionality is broken. Irrespective of what timezone is selected, the system displays time in UTC as shown below:

root@kk-cxii-47:~# timedatectl
Local time: Fri 2021-01-29 18:09:19
Universal time: Fri 2021-01-29 18:09:19 UTC
RTC time: Fri 2021-01-29 18:09:20
Time zone: Canada/Eastern (, +0000)
Network time on: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
RTC in local TZ: no

Workaround

Regression to 2020a seems to fix the issue.

I attached a patch file with the changes I used.

The timezone is not applied.
