[Lunar-commits] glibc, timezone-data: Resolve conflict between files installed.

[Moritz Heiber]

Hey Chad, glad you're jumping in. I'm sorry I didn't bother to ask you
until now .. but I think this is the cleaner approach. Also, are there
so many changes around the world justifying a constant up-to-date
timezone information (I'm clueless here .. enlighten me! :-)?

Regards,

Moritz

PS: With the new glibc module we can actually follow glibc releases
more frequently .. that means much more up-to-date timezone information
either.
