Curious.  At first glance it looks like /etc/localtime got updated
automatically.  Is there some other file somewhere that also needs to
get updated?  Or is /etc/localtime not supposed to be a simple copy of
the timezone file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ ?

    [root at arbol zoneinfo]# cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/

    [root at arbol zoneinfo]# ll US/Pacific /etc/localtime
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2819 Feb 27 04:29 /etc/localtime
    -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2819 Feb 26 07:24 US/Pacific

    [root at arbol zoneinfo]# cmp US/Pacific /etc/localtime && echo same
    same
