Tzdata package update missing

I am running OSMC on Raspberry Pi B+

I live in Egypt/Cairo, i configured the timezone but due to recent changes to DST we stopped applying it starting this year, tzdata package was updated and i confirmed this by checking the mailing list and by applying updates on 2 Ubuntu installations Desktop and Server, both after update showed correct time GMT+2 not GMT+3.

However, OSMC is showing GMT+3, i checked for OSMC updates manually and applied all of them then ran update & upgrade through the command line, rebooted but still wrong time, i think tzdata package update did NOT reach OSMC.

I ran dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and confirmed correct configuration but still wrong time is being shown as the image below.

Hi

Please give us:

dpkg -l tzdata

Different version here:

osmc@rpi2:~$ dpkg -l | grep tzdata
ii  tzdata                               2015d-0+deb8u1                all                                     time zone and daylight-saving time data

Are you sure you ran

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If so please post your APT logs.

ran all the following

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and all showing no available updates/upgrades

Here are the logs:

@DBMandrake is checking on a Pi2 which uses upstream Debian

@mtantawy is checking on a Pi1 which uses a downstream derivative Raspbian.

The Raspbian archive shows http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/t/tzdata/tzdata_2015d-1_all.deb as the latest.

Doesn’t affect me but I just checked and on my Pi2 it is the proper 2015d-0+deb8u1 but a Pi1 which I just did a full update and dist-upgrade on 5 minutes ago and now says nothing to upgrade still shows 2015c-1

Looks like that package has yet to trickle down in to Raspbian. Thanks @shadow for confirming

mtantawy you could probably just use that link from sam’s post to get the deb and manually install it with dpkg -i instead of waiting.

Thanks everyone for the help, i’ll wait some time if the update didn’t get there i’ll install it manually.

May the force be with you all! :thumbsup:
