Description Sergey Y. Afonin 2025-12-03 15:33:40 MSK 
timedatectl как-то странно работает (systemd 257.9 в p11 правда).

# timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Samara
# timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Moscow
Failed to set time zone: Failed to set time zone: No such file or directory
# timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Moscow
# timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Samara
Failed to set time zone: Failed to set time zone: No such file or directory
# timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Samara
#

В некоторых случаях ругается на отсутствие какого-то файла, потом срабатывает.
/etc/localtime тоже не контролирует. Если удалить, можно получить вот такое:

# rm -f /etc/localtime
# timedatectl
