Title:
zic -l Foo/Bar leads to broken /etc/localtime
Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
since 13.04, zic seems to be broken.
Go to the Systemsettings set the correct time and turn on ntp. next, the timezone are correct but the time will always set tu UTC.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317999#c11 a userhas found out
that it could be zic's fault
--kubuntu-dev note--
a user did some fiddling to zic and came up with a fix/workaround
http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?62995-Wrong-time-zone-on-your-clock-Help-Kubuntu-devs-create-a-fix&p=330437&viewfull=1#post330437
in particular the problem is that zic -l Foo/Bar will copy Foo/Bar
which on debian systems is a relative symlink, so /etc/localtime ends
up being broken since it doesn't point to an actual file anymore.
this issue seems to be affecting all of debian and pretty much renders zic useless for purposes of setting the system timezone.
