Please do this...
zic -l US/Eastern
... as root.

It does this.....
[SNIPPED most strace]

access("/usr/local/etc/localtime/.", F_OK) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
unlink("/usr/local/etc/localtime") = 0
link("/usr/local/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern", "/usr/local/etc/localtime") = 0
_exit(0) = ?

This should fix it.
