Hi,
I downloaded the file
ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tzdata-latest.tar.gz
and noticed one error in a text file named "backward".
Backward file has two zones, which both link to Pacific/Pago_Pago.
These are the two rows:
Link Pacific/Pago_Pago Pacific/Samoa
Link Pacific/Pago_Pago US/Samoa
I'm not sure, but I assume that the record is wrong.
There are two countries:
1. Samoa (WS), which Capital is Apia. Timezone UTC+13, Summer Time UTC+14 (Note! The same offsets than in Pacific/Apia)
2. American Samoa (AS), whose capital is Pago Pago. Timezone Samoa Standard Time (SST), UTC-11 (Note! THe same offsets than in Pacific/Pago_Pago.
So, I assume that the rows should be:
Link Pacific/Apia Pacific/Samoa
Link Pacific/Pago_Pago US/Samoa
Please correct if I'm wrong.
