Thanks @cdown, can confirm it works after rebuild.

tzupdate works just fine.

[root@roujiamo ~]# pacman -Q tzupdate
tzupdate 2.0.0-1
[root@roujiamo ~]# tzupdate
Set system timezone to Europe/Amsterdam.
[root@roujiamo ~]# type -p python
/usr/bin/python

As with every Python package from AUR, when the system python is upgraded you must rebuild Python packages to pick up new site-packages dir. Nothing different here.

Completely broken. Same error as in kflak's comment. Edit: My bad, package needed a rebuild due to a Python major version update; works now.

Khal and others have been getting similar errors lately.

@flamusdiu it says this in the message :-)

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Could not link "/etc/localtime" ([Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/localtime'). Are you root?

A bit old: make sure you run "tzupdate" as root or run "tzupdate -p" as a normal user. If you attempt to run just "tzupdate" as a normal user it will error out (no checking if root before running the code).

@sumner The package may have been removed with a pip update. Try to install the aur package again. Otherwise you can manually run sudo pip install -U tzupdate

Does not work after upgrade to Python 3.7:

$ tzupdate

@justin8: Very true, thanks! I'll go fix that.

python-setuptools should be a dependency, not just a make dep, otherwise it errors out trying to find pkg_resources
