Uh?   The tzdata-2008i-1.fc8.noarch.rpm has 3 JST tzdata files.

% rpm2cpio tzdata-2008i-1.fc8.noarch.rpm| cpio -idv | grep Tokyo
./usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Asia/Tokyo
./usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Asia/Tokyo
./usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo
4067 blocks
%

% md5 ./usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Asia/Tokyo ./usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Asia/Tokyo 
./usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo
MD5 (./usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Asia/Tokyo) = 0fce60d78288efb3685c1e2a19fb8e2b
MD5 (./usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Asia/Tokyo) = f17769e8eb35e7a08cfedfe9b2f6b5ef
MD5 (./usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tokyo) = f17769e8eb35e7a08cfedfe9b2f6b5ef
%

Which file should I use?  Anyone has any ideas?
