Error:
Sun Dec 27 18:49:09 2009 Loading default list of timezones.
Sun Dec 27 18:49:09 2009 Previous TimeZoneID
Sun Dec 27 18:49:09 2009 Determining system locale.
Sun Dec 27 18:49:09 2009 DEBUG: Local tz name EET

Investigation:
vim /opt/zimbra/conf/timezones.ics (no EET)

Solution for Ubuntu:
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata (change to London)


Run Zimbra install again

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata (change to needed)

Dear Zimbra,

/opt/zimbra/conf/timezones.ics (This file is disaster)

Possible places to acquire normal timezone data:

If you think there's a problem with that file and the upgrade procedure then I'd suggest you file a bug report.
