If you have this problem with a tarball (implying you're already using tar)
then it suggests your system clock is wrong. Maybe you have your system
clock (which should be UTC) set to local time, instead of having the clock
set to UTC and your local time zone set to Pacific/Auckland.

If the problem you describe was real (rather than user error) it would
affect the entire world except for the Americas, and nobody would tolerate
it.
