Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

While both gworldclock and tzwatch display the proper time information for Pacific/Auckland, the clock applet in gnome-panel 1:2.21.91-0ubuntu1 displays the wrong offset.

At the moment, Pacific/Auckland is at NZDT, which is UTC+13, Europe/Warsaw is at CET, which is UTC+1, yet the panel displays a difference of +11.

Note that the analog clock displays the proper time: 3:30 PM in Warsaw, 3:30 AM in Nelson (Pacific/Auckland). Also, both the analog clocks *and* the differences for Mumbai (Asia/Calcutta) and San Francisco (America/Los Angeles) are correct.
