>Description:
In SVN 230299, the hunk at line 702 (r230299) is incomplete (shown below):

705 +#ifdef VERBOSE
706 +                        snprintf(prompt, sizeof(prompt),
707 +                            "Removed %s", path_localtime);
708 +#endif
709                          return (DITEM_LEAVE_MENU);

Two issues:
1. prompt is assigned a value but then not used (evident by the return which occurs after assignment).
2. prompt is not global in nature and thus the value is lost upon return.

Attached patch.txt:
1. Adds code to utilize the assigned value.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compiled with VERBOSE and select the "UTC" menu option. Before this patch, you are not informed that /etc/localtime was unlink(2)ed. This is inconsistent with selecting other options (informs you that you have created a symlink or copied a zonefile). After this patch, selecting the UTC option informs you that /etc/localtime was removed.
>Fix:
See attached patch.txt.
