Timezone appears to be changed after tzdata update.

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

After applying last tzdata update in our RHEL 6 servers the timezone appears now as "-03" instead of "BRT":

$ zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Brazil/East|grep 2018
zdump: warning: zone "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Brazil/East" abbreviation "-03" lacks alphabetic at start
