Hi,

After I sent my previous mail (appended here) I noted that there is
another change needed.  I am referring to the latest file
tzdata2006d.tar.gz

The last two lines for the Sri Lanka time zone file Asia/Colombo needs
to be changed to
                       6:00    -       LKT     2006 Apr 15 0:30
                       5:30    -       LKT

as the time change was effective from April 15 0:30.

Thanks.
