I'm too paranoid

I'm too paranoid to let my systems update themselves automatically. So we have a cron job that goes "apt-get update && apt-get -d upgrade" every night. This downloads whatever packages are being upgraded and sends me mail about it.



Why look, Debian Testing is replacing locales and tzdata today. I guess that's the DST change. apt-get upgrade"



Unpacking replacement tzdata ...

Setting up tzdata (2007b-1) ...

Current default timezone: 'US/Pacific'.

Local time is now: Wed Mar 7 20:35:59 PST 2007.

Universal Time is now: Thu Mar 8 04:35:59 UTC 2007.

Run 'tzconfig' if you wish to change it.
