Hi,
[ Reason ]
We've received installation reports from users telling us their
locations weren't being taken into account timezone-wise. That's the
case at least for Argentina (multiple reports), and for Ukraine. Both
are fixed in unstable already.
As far as I understand[1] that's due to legacy names being split out
from the regular tzdata package.
1. https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2025/12/msg00190.html
Whatever the exact reasons, the fact is bookworm was accepting both
pairs of names (Etc/UTC added for reference):
$ for tz in America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires America/Buenos_Aires Europe/Kyiv
Europe/Kiev Etc/UTC; do TZ=$tz date; done

Sun 28 Dec 00:23:26 UTC 2025
while trixie doesn't anymore:
Sat 27 Dec 21:23:16 -03 2025
Sun 28 Dec 00:23:16 America 2025
Sun 28 Dec 02:23:16 EET 2025
Sun 28 Dec 00:23:16 Europe 2025
Sun 28 Dec 00:23:16 UTC 2025
Note how the second of each pair (legacy name) gets the area reported,
alongside with the same data as UTC…
[ Impact ]
Affected users get UTC instead of a location-appropriate timezone.
[ Tests ]
Test-installations in Spanish (location = Argentina) and Ukrainian
(location = Ukraine) with a custom ISO using the proposed package
confirmed the correct timezone is set and giving appropriate time
information in the installed system.
[ Risks ]
I'd hate to jinx it so I'll just stay very low risks: the source package
gets two substitutions (the two affected locations), which after a build
under cowbuilder are confirmed to be the only two changes according to
diffoscope.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
Thanks for your time!
Cheers,
