Waybar shows UTC time instead of localtime after updating to tzdata-2025a

[camj2]

I updated to tzdata-2025a and now Waybar displays time in UTC instead of localtime.

I have /etc/localtime linked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix. No other changes have been made. Not sure why this happens after the recent tzdata update.

Hi,

I have the same problem. The log file shows:
[2025-01-18 11:44:48.557] [warning] Timezone: Europe/Paris. tzdb: cannot locate zone: Europe/Paris

This is not first time when tzdata brokes clock.

"Fix"

},
 "clock": {
    "format": "{:%b, %d %H:%M}",
    "tooltip": false,
    "on-click": "~/.local/bin/noti_cal",
  },
  // "in case tzdata update fucks up your clock",
  "custom/clock": {
    "format": "{}",
    "tooltip": false,
    "exec": "date +'%b, %d %H:%M'",
    "interval": 60,
    "on-click": "~/.local/bin/noti_cal",
  },

same here on voidlinux

➜ xbps-query -l | grep -E 'tzdata| gcc|Waybar'
ii Waybar-0.11.0_2                                             Polybar-like Wayland Bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors
ii gcc-13.2.0_2                                                GNU Compiler Collection

➜ file /etc/localtime
/etc/localtime: symbolic link to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris

In debug logs I get that line too

[2025-01-19 17:43:37.844] [warning] Timezone: Europe/Paris. tzdb: cannot locate zone: Europe/Paris

You need an updated gcc
