FS#3944 - Octegon can't read timezone

[openwrt-bot]

flygarn12:

EdgeRouter-4 21.02-snapshot-r16232-febf6db0d0 (and other Octegon devices as seen it the forum thread).

I can't get the EdgeRouter-4 to read the /etc/tz file. The file exist and I can read it from PuTTy. The /etc/tz changes to the correct time zone every time I in LuCi system settings change time zone.
I have also tried installing the Europe time zone package in hope for good luck but without any luck.

No matter what I do the system time in LuCi overview, date command and system log always show UTC time!? But the time in LuCi system time settings read the correct local time.

There have been some fault finding already pointing to a fault in the code?

I have this problem too on OpenWrt 21.02.1 r16325-88151b8303. The information here seems relevant:

Could someone please take a look?
