I have installed Mandriva 2007 with the latest patches. Time Zone for Pacific/Vancouver has not been updated with the latest patches.

A work around is to change the system time zone to Pacific/Los Angeles. Same time zone, but different area.

Are you sure, the latest 2007c timezone info for /Canada/Pacific is correct(this is from a RHEL/CentOS/SL updated rpm package);

$ zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific |grep 2007
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific Sun Mar 11 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific Sun Nov 4 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific Sun Nov 4 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800

Perhaps you want to review and verify you have the latest:

I'm puzzled here. There is no Pacific/Vancouver timezone file. There's no Pacific/Los Angeles or Pacific/Los_Angeles. This holds true for both the old set of files and the new.

There is, however, America/Los_Angeles. There's also Canada/Pacific. Try Canada/Pacific, and see if that works for you.

wjevans_7d1 : Mandriva 2007 allows you to select cities in Canada and the US. Going through webmin for setting the system time and timezone, the entry shows up as Pacific/Vancouver or Pacific/Los Angeles. However when using MCC the timezones are broken down differently.

Lenard: I did some checking around and with the Mandriva 2007 package they missed a couple of cities in Canada for proper daylight savings settings.

For a short term fix I changed the timezone to the Los Angeles selection and it worked fine. There is a new patch for Mandriva 2007 on the way.
