[Pkg-raspi-maintainers] /etc/localtime points to UTC

[Franco Martelli]

Hi,

I've a Raspberry 3B running Debian Buster 10.6. The symbolic link
/etc/localtime points to UTC:

:~$ ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 ott 23 20:53 /etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/UTC

This cause daemon like cron to execute commands at UTC time instead of
local time correctly reported from date command. I fixed this behavior
removing the symbolic link and recreating  it in order to point to the
capital of my country:

:~# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome /etc/localtime

Have I forgotten something at installation time or is it a known issue?

Regards
