Hi Mike,

On 2025-04-01 21:54:17, I wrote to you:

Today there was a tzdata update on those Ubuntu servers:

Unpacking:  tzdata (2025b-0ubuntu0.22.04) over (2025a-0ubuntu0.22.04)
Setting up: tzdata (2025b-0ubuntu0.22.04)

Current default time zone: 'Europe/Amsterdam'
Local time is now:      Thu Apr  3 10:29:57 CEST 2025.
Universal Time is now:  Thu Apr  3 08:29:57 UTC 2025.
Run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' if you wish to change it.

All went smoothly.

/etc/localtime and /etc/timezone have a new timestamp (set to the date/time of
the update). And are still correct...


Bye, Wilfred.
