Set timezone for GB and recognise BST

I have an Ultimo 4K and have installed the latest vuplus image. No matter what timezone setting I chose the clock would not be correct for British Summer Time. Looking into this I found that the Europe GMT choice in the setup create as symbolic link for /etc/localtime which points to a file which doesn't exist. i.e.
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Dublin. So the solution is to copy /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB to ../Europe/Dublin and reboot.
 
This has been fixed in the latest update and the localtime link now points directly to Dublin not Europe/Dublin. No idea why it should be Dublin though!
