clock: "bad dow name: il"

[NotSludgeBomb]

On my system currently (FreeBSD/Sway), the clock on Waybar is completely empty. When i run waybar in the console, I get the following output:

I've tried switching to the default configuration, and this happens there as well. My timezone according to /etc/localtime is America/Chicago.

Hello, same here when running waybar,

My system:

I'm getting the exact same error on FreeBSD version 14.1-Release. My locale is set to "C.UTF-8". Changing the language/country code from "C" to "en_US" does not help.

I think this issue is related to this other one: HowardHinnant/date#836 .
Editing the file northamerica as indicated solves the problem in my case (FreeBSD-14.1.0).

[eacrawford02]

@nivit amazing, this fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess all there is to do now is wait for an update to the date package with a permanent fix in it.

I had exact the same issue under FreeBSD and could solved it with the hint by @nivit .
Amazing for me is, that I have to maintain the file northamerica within the folder tzdata which is located in my downloads folder. Why is tzdata to find in my downloads folder and not in a system environment?
By the way I have a German localization, to maintain the file northamerica makes no sense for me.
Or has anyony a hint for me?
