    An update that has two recommended fixes can now be installed.

    Description:

    This update for timezone provides the following fixes:

    - North Korea switches back from +0830 to +09 on 2018-05-05.
    - Ireland's standard time is in the summer, with negative DST offset to
    standard time used in Winter. (bsc#1073299)
    - yast2-country is no longer setting TIMEZONE in /etc/sysconfig/clock and
    is calling systemd timedatectl instead. Do not set /etc/localtime on
    timezone package updates to avoid setting an incorrect timezone.
