When I fixed the time zone to America/ La_Paz everything works perfectly, but when I fixed it to America/ Caracas, Google Calendar shows the wrong date (one date ahead). The rest of the functions associated with the date on my computers work perfectly.

It seems that this is a Javascript problem in all Mozilla-based
products, and it's not related to tzdata. While it's still present in
FF3, I couldn't replicate this in Konqueror and other apps (e.g.,
Gnome's calendar or the CLI cal command)
