Solution to Downgrade tzdata Package

To resolve the issue with the Waybar clock showing the wrong timezone, you can downgrade the tzdata package to version 2024a-2. Follow these steps:

1. Install the downgrade tool using your AUR helper (paru or yay):

   paru -S downgrade

   or

   yay -S downgrade

2. Use the downgrade tool to select and install the specific version of tzdata:

   sudo downgrade tzdata

3. From the list, select version 2024a-2. This will downgrade the package.

4. After the downgrade, the system will ask if you'd like to add tzdata to the ignore list in the Pacman configuration (/etc/pacman.conf). This will prevent tzdata from being upgraded the next time you run:

   sudo pacman -Syu

   • Press Y and hit Enter to add tzdata to the ignore list.

5. Once the bug is fixed upstream, you can remove tzdata from the ignore list by editing the pacman.conf file, and it will be upgraded automatically with your next system update.

I hope this helps!

you can remove tzdata from the ignore list by editing the pacman.conf file,

or running yay -Sy tzdata this command removes the ignored package from the pacman.conf.

[sharjeelmazhar]

yay -Sy tzdata

will running this remove tzdata from the ignore package variable inside the conf file or will it ignore it for this specific command only this time we run this specific command with tag -Sy ?

[kRHYME7]

it removes it.

I tried this on dolphin last time.
