Bug Description
A regression in the zic utility in vivid's glibc 2.21 is causing weirdness in the tzdata package when used on i386:
vivid amd64:
$ TZ="PST+8PDT" date --date="2006-07-15 13:30 +0500"
Sat Jul 15 01:30:00 PDT 2006
vivid i386:
$ TZ="PST+8PDT" date --date="2006-07-15 13:30 +0500"
Sat Jul 15 00:30:00 PST 2006
utopic i386:
$ TZ="PST+8PDT" date --date="2006-07-15 13:30 +0500"
Sat Jul 15 01:30:00 PDT 2006
This is causing the test-parse-date.t test in the mercurial package to fail, causing a FTBFS.
