I run debian and it depends on the libc6 package:

I found this article for anyone interested:

https://agora.cs.uiuc.edu/display/tsg/additional+information+on+DST+patching+UNIX+and+Linux+systems

I run debian sarge and it is OK according to this page.

dpkg -l libc6 shows I have version 2.3.2.ds1-22sa

Thanks for your help!
