Regardless of all points taken in this discussion think a moment of
the humor of the whole thing, please. The repair for Linux is one

And how would one go about fixing it?, mine
(/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York) seems to be some compressed
format.
This does not need fixing. When/if the date/time of the change between
standard and daylight times changes, your timezone file (New York | Los
Angeles | whatever) gets replaced/updated and it automagically happens
at the proper time.
Would you please explain to me how my machine automagically knows it
needs to change the content of a file on its disc when the legislature
makes a change to the way DST works?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
