>Description:
There seem to be some bugs in the ``Timezone names'' list in parsedate(3) manual page:

- listed twice with different offsets: acst (+0930), acst (+1030)
- incorrect offset: ist (+0550)
- zp4 (+0400), zp5 (+0500), zp6 (+0600) can't be used in ``date -d ...'' (error: Unrecognized date format) - this may have changed since my system was actually current

>How-To-Repeat:
see the output of:

for tz in acst ist zp4 zp5 zp6; do
date -d "2021-01-01 00:00:00 $tz"
done



>Fix:
