After updating my arch linux box with pacman -Syu the time is wrongly set to UTC time.
I use only arch linux on all of my computers.
The time in the BIOS is set to UTC and is correct.
In my /etc/rc.conf I have
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE=Europe/Athens
Does anyone have the same problem? Did anyone find a fix?
P.S I don't want to set the HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"

Shouldn't the TIMEZONE line read
TIMEZONE="Europe/Athens" ?

Try as root tzselect. I don't think there is a need to edit your .profile file as the tzselect command suggests. If that doesn't work try to link manualy your favorite zone from /usr/share/zoneinfo/ to /etc/localtime.

I believe that the problem lies in hwclock command or the kernel.
when I issue the command hwclock --utc --hctosys
the time stays the same (UTC timezone) while it should change to my timezone (Europe/Athens). I tried it with other timezones as well but the result is the same.
Anyone experiencing the same problem ?

I have the same problem after upgrade, and I notice there is no corresponding timezone data in /usr/share/timezone.
/usr/share/timezone seems not belonging to any package, how can I get the right timezone data?

pacman -S tzdata

The problem is fixed for me too now. It seems that there was something wrong with the tzdata package.
