There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository shutils/chroot.sh: create symlink for /etc/localtime https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/27803 Description: Currently /etc/localtime is copied from the host to the chroot. According to [1] /etc/localtime should be a symlink and some R checks fail because it is not. Instead of copying, this commit resolves the symlink, creates the required file below /usr/share/zoneinfo and then symlinks it to /etc/localtime inside the chroot.
