Updating tzdata in Fedora Core 3

If you understand the title then you can help me.

I've got several machines that I need to update for the new daylight saving time dates that are coming around this year. There are rpms that you can find out there which will supposedly update all the correct files for you.

The only problem is, when I run the correct rpm, (tzdata-2005r-3.fc3.noarch.rpm is the latest version they made for core 3) nothing seems to change on the box.

I issue the command

rpm -i tzdata-2005r-3.fc3.noarch.rpm

to install the rpm. I've used the --force option to no avail.


The command

zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007

shows the dates of the next scheduled time change on your computer. The dates stay at April 1 for this upcoming time change. The localtime file doesn't seem to be getting changed at all when I install the new rpm. What the heck?

    Okay, so it looks like the correct file under /usr/share/zoneinfo is getting updated, but I thought /etc/localtime was the one that actually gets looked at. Dunno if this is working properly or not.
