gtkclocksetup won't change timezone

This may just be something I broke locally, but it's not working for me. clocksetup works fine. The graphical version seems to work, but doesn't actually change it:
That stray file~ is left over from when I tried to fix it by editing /etc/localtime directly, before I'd looked into it properly.
Code: Select all
mimosa[~]$ ls -la /etc/localtime*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3687 Dec 28 14:56 /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Dec 28 14:56 /etc/localtime-copied-from -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1909 Nov 30 2099 /etc/localtime~
mimosa[~]$ sudo gtkclocksetup # change to Malta time
