--- Begin Message ---Package: tzdata Version: 2007e-4 Severity: important Justification: breaks debootstrap (Actually, I saw this with 2007e-3ubuntu2 in Ubuntu; but I've looked at the diff to 2007e-4 and I'm fairly sure it suffers from the same problem. Sorry if I'm wrong.) debootstrap has always done this or equivalent before configuring most packages: if [ ! -e "$TARGET/etc/localtime" ]; then ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC "$TARGET/etc/localtime" fi Unfortunately this confuses tzdata's new debconf code. A DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dump looks like this: Setting up tzdata (2007e-3ubuntu2) ... debconf (developer): frontend started debconf (developer): frontend running, package name is tzdata debconf (developer): starting /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.config configure debconf (developer): <-- VERSION 2.0 debconf (developer): --> 0 2.0 debconf (developer): <-- CAPB backup debconf (developer): --> 0 multiselect escape debconf (developer): <-- FSET tzdata/Areas seen true debconf (developer): --> 0 true debconf (developer): <-- FSET tzdata/Zones/UTC seen true debconf (developer): --> 10 tzdata/Zones/UTC doesn't exist dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10 Errors were encountered while processing: tzdata It appears not to like single-level zones (i.e. UTC rather than Etc/UTC). While this could be worked around to some extent in debootstrap, it seems likely that this will also affect upgrades from systems using any single-level timezone name. I can think of two obvious approaches to fix this. One would be to allow any single-level zone name that exists in /usr/share/zoneinfo/. Another (more appealing in terms of elegance, although also probably harder) would be to automatically migrate any zone that's defined using a Link line. What do you think? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
