I've prepared arbtt for the latest release (as is needed otherwise it'll be removed due to incompatibility with the new lts). This depends on tz (and therefore tzdata) starting from the latest version. Could you merge these and upload please? There was some discussion on the ITP bugs about whether these would need to be updated in stable; however, this is not the case. I've patched haskell-tzdata so it just uses tzdata files. -- Robert ps. I'm with poor internet this week so I may reply very slowly. Also, I've seen the stuff about the lts upgrade, I imagine this supersedes a lot of the work done for the pandoc update (in any case the lts version is much newer!). I'll email separately about this next week.
