Description: Simple bug to reproduce.

Install an Archlinux using Archboot and be sure to select a timezone other than UTC.

Reboot and after login, just time ls -lh /etc/localtime. You'll see it is a symbolic link to UTC, not the timezone you selected.

I had to link the right timezone with an ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/MY-TIME-ZONE /etc/localtime to be sure time is correctly set up.
