            Bug ID: 1135981
           Summary: DateTime::TimeZone::Locae::TimeZone::Local->TimeZone
                    does not use /etc/locatime content (Cannot determine
                    local time zone)

# perl -MDateTime::TimeZone::Locae::TimeZone::Local->TimeZone'
Cannot determine local time zone

It happens when /etc/localtime file does not have its copy under
/usr/share/zoneinfo.

This is a problem for koji builds. The file is copied from mock's hosts and
then newer tzdata package installed into the mock environment, so the copy copy
does not match anymore. The DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Unix reads:

Some systems just copy the relevant file to F</etc/localtime> instead
of making a symlink.  In this case, we look in F</usr/share/zoneinfo>
for a file that has the same size and content as F</etc/localtime> to
determine the local time zone.

I propose to teach the module to read the zone identifier from /etc/localtime
content.
