Summary: Date::Manip unable to determine TimeZone.
           Product: Fedora Core
           Version: fc6
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: normal
         Component: perl-DateManip
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail]
> From Bugzilla Helper:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061024 Firefox/2.0

Description of problem:
I have set up my timezone as "Asia/Krasnoyarsk" when installing FC6. It corresponds to the KRAT time zone as reported by the date command.

The problem is the perl Date::Manip module isn't recognizing this timezone. If you run perldoc Date::Manip and see the list of the zones it understands, you'll see the KRAT zone isn't listed. Eventually, KRAT is equal to CCT (+0800 China Coast, USSR Zone 7) and echoing CCT to /etc/timezone makes the Date::Manip module happy. But until you do so, all the perl scripts that use Date::Manip fail to run, including /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-DateManip-5.44-1.2.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set timezone to KRAT.
2. Run /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch

Actual Results:
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.

Expected Results:
The command should run fluently w/o an error.

This has been reported upstream already.

http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=16360

This is a duplicate of bug 174984 and bug 100786.  Bug 100786 was closed CANTFIX
since it was opened against RH9.  Can someone reopen that and change the
product/version?  (Or maybe it should just be marked a duplicate of this ticket.)

I went ahead and added a simple patch to perl-DateManip to include the requested
timezone.  This should be available in FC6-testing in the next day or two. 
Andrey, if you could verify that this fixes your issue, I'll push it as an
update to FC6.

perl-DateManip-5.44-2.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.

My FC6 uses the lates version of perl-DateManip (perl-DateManip-5.44-2.fc6).
My time zone is "Asia/Novosibirsk" (NOVT) and running /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
outputs the same error message as Andrey provided: ERROR: Date::Manip unable to
determine TimeZone.

Also getting this error on Fedora 7, perl-DateManip-5.44-3.fc7 . My current
timezone is Makassar (GMT-8 I think). I didn't have that problem when being back
in Germany, Berlin timezone.

Reproduced the bug with perl-DateManip-5.44-1.2.1 on FC6 and verified no such
error occurred when execute logwatch with perl-DateManip-5.44-2.fc6 by using
"Asia/Krasnoyarsk" timezone. But same error prompted by using "Asia/Novosibirsk"
with perl-DateManip-5.44-2.fc6. So assign it back.
