 The problem seems to be that Australia/Canberra doesn't exist :-).
 It was merged with Sydney a year ago, almost in time for the DST change
 last March.  Old releases remain out of date of course.  2.2 should be
 up to date enough.  It is missing the Jan 2 1997 zoneinfo changes in
 -current, but that didn't change much.
 
 Here is the log message for the relevant change:
 ----------------------------
 revision 1.6
 date: 1996/03/02 21:47:04;  author: wollman;  state: Exp;  lines: +208 -127
 Update timezone files to 96c from vendor branch.
 Australia/Canberra is dead (use Australia/Sydney).
 Asia/Tel_Aviv has been renamed Asia/Jerusalem.
