Synopsis

perl-TimeDate bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated perl-TimeDate package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

perl-TimeDate is a perl library that parses time and date information.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, some time zones were missing in the perl-TimeDate package, so the user could not set, for example, the Alaska Standard time zone. Support for the missing time zones has been added to the Time/Zone.pm module, namely the following:

  AEDT Eastern Australian Daylight AEST Eastern Australian Standard AKDT Alaska Daylight AKST Alaska Standard METDST Middle European DST MSD Moscow Daylight MSK Moscow

As a result, the list of time zones in Time/Zone.pm is now complete. (BZ#993222)

Users of perl-TimeDate are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
