Synopsis: Low: tzdata bug fix update
Issue date: 2016-06-21
--

This update fixes the following bugs:

* In 2015, Egypt did not observe Daylight Savings Time (DST). However,
in 2016, Egypt observes DST from July 7 at 24:00 to October 27 at 24:00.
As a consequence of this change, the tzdata package had incorrect data
regarding DST in Egypt in 2016. This has been fixed, and tzdata now has
the correct data. (BZ#1334677, BZ#1342553, BZ#1346423, BZ#1346424)

This update has been placed in the security tree to avoid timezone related
problems such as ntp sync errors.
