Description of problem: After the application of daylight saving in Egypt, the clock doesn't show the right time. NTP is enabled but not effective. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 8. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Adding some additional informations: https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14917 The timezone package in MGA8 timezone-2022g does not provide correct infos for Egypt. This problem is fixed in timezone-2023c (which is already available in MGA9). Assigning to David who did the last updates to this package...

FWIW, the OP switched from Egypt to EET which contains the correct information. Not sure why /usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt is that outdated, it only goes up to 2014.

I'm guessing from Florian's comment that updating this package wouldn't have fixed this issue...
(In reply to David Walser from comment #3) > I'm guessing from Florian's comment that updating this package wouldn't have > fixed this issue... Sorry, I'm not aware if upstream may have switched or if the origin of those is still correct and whatnot, so I only compared the content of the current mga8 package. From comment 1 it seems backporting the mga9 changes to mga8 would fix the issue, but should be easy to verify if you run zdump on /usr/share/zoneinfo/EET - if it contains current information (later then 2014), then this should fix it.
It doesn't hurt to update timezone data every once in a while, so here goes.
