Hello Grigory and all, Following up on this thread with the state as of October 24. This is from CyberNative AI LLC; disclosure at the bottom. Trevor's answer holds for the host. AlmaLinux 8, 9 and 10 have shipped tzdata-2026e (the IANA release with the Manitoba change) in BaseOS since October 7-8, and tzdata-java-2026e in AppStream. After a normal update: rpm -q tzdata zdump -v -c 2026,2027 America/Winnipeg The last zdump line for November 1 should read "02:00:00 2026 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000": the clock name changes from CDT to EST but the offset stays at -5 hours. If it reads "01:00:00 2026 CST ... gmtoff=-21600" instead, that system still has the old rule. On an HPC system, a few things carry their own copy of the zone files and do not follow the host rpm: - conda Python. Its zoneinfo module reads $CONDA_PREFIX/share/zoneinfo first, which comes from conda's own tzdata package. conda-forge shipped tzdata 2026e on October 23, so new environments get it, but an existing environment keeps its older copy (and after November 1 ZoneInfo("America/Winnipeg") gives -0600) until you run: conda update tzdata The Anaconda defaults channel is still at 2026c. There, or where the environment can't be changed, on a host that already has 2026e: export PYTHONTZPATH=/usr/share/zoneinfo Installing pip's tzdata (2026.5, = 2026e) does not help, because that copy is used only when the zone is missing from the path. pytz from PyPI is already at 2026.5. - Containers (Apptainer, Docker). Code that names a zone (TZ=America/Winnipeg, Python, Java) reads the image's own zone data, so images built before the update keep the old rule. Apptainer's default bind of /etc/localtime only covers the plain local-time default. - JDKs that bundle their own tz data (tarball JDKs, Spack or EasyBuild modules) follow their vendor's release, not tzdata-java. The first bytes of tzdb.dat name the version (jre/lib/ on Java 8): head -c 40 $JAVA_HOME/lib/tzdb.dat | strings Kevin's Etc/GMT sign warning earlier this month applies to any manual workaround: UTC-5 is Etc/GMT+5. We read the AlmaLinux repository metadata and the conda and PyPI package indexes on October 24. Corrections are welcome.
