Package: tzdata
Version: 2011h-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
this problem was present since 2011h-1 and while I can install tzdata
again since bug #631878 is fixed, I still get the exact same error as
described in that bug report when using debconf-set-selections before
package installation:
Setting up tzdata (2011h-3) ...
dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
tzdata
This is how to reproduce the problem:
$ sudo multistrap -f multistrap.conf
multistrap.conf:
-%<--------------------------------------
[General]
arch=
directory=debian-sid-multistrap
cleanup=true
debootstrap=Debian
aptsources=Debian
debconfseed=tzdata.debconf
[Debian]
packages=apt
source=http://cdn.debian.net/debian
keyring=debian-archive-keyring
suite=sid
->%--------------------------------------
tzdata.debconf:
-%<--------------------------------------
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Europe select Berlin
tzdata tzdata/Areas select Europe
->%--------------------------------------
To not encounter the problem, either comment the debconfseed line in
multistrap.conf or the lines in tzdata.debconf. Multistrap will run fine
then.
cheers, josch

Hi,
Indeed the problem seems to have been to only supply those two lines to
debconf-set-selections:
> tzdata.debconf:
> -%<--------------------------------------
> tzdata tzdata/Zones/Europe select Berlin
> tzdata tzdata/Areas select Europe
> ->%--------------------------------------
When putting everything that `debconf-get-selection | grep tzdata`
outputs into that file, it will work.
tzdata.debconf:
-%<--------------------------------------
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Australia select
tzdata tzdata/Zones/US select
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Asia select
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Etc select UTC
tzdata tzdata/Zones/SystemV select
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Arctic select
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Pacific select
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Antarctica select
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Europe select Berlin
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Africa select
tzdata tzdata/Zones/America select
tzdata tzdata/Areas select Europe
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Atlantic select
tzdata tzdata/Zones/Indian select
->%--------------------------------------
It was working with only supplying those two lines before tzdata 2011h-1
but that those additional lines are needed now is of course not a bug.
So I think I can close this one. Sorry for the trouble.
cheers, josch
