Could not find file "/etc/localtime"

[matgenois]

I'm using Gitlab-CI to build electron and creating Windows single .exe with this docker image electronuserland/builder:wine-mono

give me this error. /etc/localtime exist in this docker image. I don't know from where this come from.

I have the same error on Gitlab-CI with electronuserland/builder:wine-mono

[pgebheim]

Just ran into this issue as well, has anyone solved it?

[petong]

This happens due to /etc/localtime being a dangling symlink. Installing the tzdata package will fix this. There were some ubuntu docker images published that had this problem: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=56499

this isn't a windows-installer issue.as @petong pointed out.
