--- Comment #3 from Petr Pisar <ppisar at redhat.com> ---
perl-DateTime-TimeZone is obsessed with time zone names. What
DateTime::TimeZone::Local->TimeZone does is it tries to determine the zone name
by many means. If it can figure out the name, it uses it as a key into its own
time zone database.

Some of the many means are:

(1) Reading /etc/localtime symbolic link value

(2) If /etc/localtime is not a symbolic link, it finds its copy under
/usr/share/zoneinfo whose path name is the zone name.

The tzdata presents in the minimal build root by a transitive dependency. The
issue probably is the /etc/localtime is copied by mock into the chroot because
the chroot is empty. Then tzadata are installed by @build group. Results the
/etc/locatime is a plain file and sometimes out-dated.
