I have just manually pushed timezone-2.5-25.i586.rpm onto my production box as an interim measure. I did some experimenting with the timezone package on a number of SuSE-based machines last evening, and what I found was that, in general, if rpm didn't complain about package dependencies, the updated module was pretty much interchangeable across the board (don't ask about SuSE Personal 9.1 - it was a nightmare).
I got mine from
http://tinyurl.com/3xxfyl, but there are a number of mirrors listed on
http://tinyurl.com/ysy5bq.
As always, this is an unsupported patch, and YMMV. Anyway, I offer it for your consideration.
