Larry Dawson commented on ARROW-16386:
--------------------------------------
This works fine on debian:latest, but breaks on Ubuntu. It turns out that
ubuntu is missing the timezone setup and adding the following line to the
docker file fixes the problem:
{code:java}
run DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive TZ=Etc/UTC apt-get -y install tzdata {code}
Fixed in the docker code, but I'm not sure given this whether this is a bug in
pyarrow or not - the code I'm running is pretty simple and doesn't have a
functional dependency on the local timezone, so I don't think it should fail if
the timezone hasn't been set up, but I have to admit, it's pretty basic
functionality.
