> I think this would be problematic as symlinks are widely used inside zoneinfo for “aliases”; e.g.

that part of the code only goes through the zone names. later on the
symlinks are resolved when the file contents are needed.

i've recorded my proposed fix that works for me here on debian 8, but
i don't have the commit bit, so see this PR:

“When a child can be brought to tears, and not from fear of
punishment, but from repentance he needs no chastisement. When the
tears begin to flow from the grief of their conduct you can be sure
there is an angel nestling in their heart.”
	— Horace Mann (1796–1859), American education reformer
