Package: libc6
Severity: important
tzconfig will not work from within a dpkg postinst script when called
from a chroot environment (not sure which is significant).
I am labelling this as important, as it breaks my diskless-image-*
packages, which need to be able to configure the time-zone.
I have not been able to test this myself, but trust what Marcin has
told me.

The postinst code in question contains the following:
if [ -f /sbin/unconfigured.sh ]; then
tzconfig
ldconfig
rm /sbin/unconfigured.sh
fi
This problem has me puzzled, I hope libc6 people might be able to
help...
