Package: tzdata
Version: 2024a-4
At the upgrade from Bookworm to Trixie the postinst for tzdata
failed:
Setting up tzdata (2024a-4) ...
dpkg: error processing package tzdata (--configure):
installed tzdata package post-installation script subprocess returned error
exit status 10
/etc/localtime was
# ls -al /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jul 7 10:09 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/CET
Restarting the upgrade did not help. After manually removing
the symlink the upgrade succeeded.
Regards
Harri

CET was not in the list that you could select as timezone when running
dpkg-reconfigure. This works since 2024b-3 which updates the CET
timezone on reconfigure:
```
$ ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/CET /etc/localtime
$ DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Current default time zone: 'Europe/Brussels'
Local time is now: Tue Dec 3 11:35:04 CET 2024.
Universal Time is now: Tue Dec 3 10:35:04 UTC 2024.
```
