I have just tried r0lling forward to 10.3 from 10.1 and suddenly my time zone declaration blew up.
I was using 'US/Chicago' and was able to get the server to start with CST6CDT, which is the way the system is set up. But I'm concerned about this, because I now get this from trying to query the system tables for timezone names:
pgsql=# select * from pg_timezone_names;
name | abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst
--------------------------+--------+------------+--------
Canada/East-Saskatchewan | CST | -06:00:00 | f
(1 row)
pgsql=# select * from pg_timezone_abbrevs;
ERROR: time zone "Asia/Yerevan" not recognized
DETAIL: This time zone name appears in the configuration file for time zone abbreviation "amst".
Rolling the binaries back (gmake install) from the previous 10.1 build (which I still have) did not clear this. I'm not sure what happened here, or whether it will bite me (and if so, how hard), but the place I expect this to cause trouble in my calendar app which does allow various timezones to be selected....
Any ideas on what happened?
