Regardless of all points taken in this discussion think a moment of the humor of the whole thing, please. The repair for Linux is one file that is not even an executable. For my case it's the usr share file: "/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles"
And how would one go about fixing it?, mine (/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York) seems to be some compressed format.
This does not need fixing. When/if the date/time of the change between standard and daylight times changes, your timezone file (New York | Los Angeles | whatever) gets replaced/updated and it automagically happens at the proper time.
Would you please explain to me how my machine automagically knows it needs to change the content of a file on its disc when the legislature makes a change to the way DST works?
