Package: tzdata
Version: 2016i-0+deb7u1
Severity: critical
Upgrading a fully updated wheezy system (incl. security repo) to
jessie (incl. security repo) results in tzdata not being updated
because the version in wheezy-security is newer than in jessie.
Package tzdata on amd64
wheezy: 2016d-0+deb7u1
wheezy-security: 2016i-0+deb7u1
jessie: 2016f-0+deb8u1
jessie-updates: 2016i-0+deb8u1
jessie-proposed-updates: 2016i-0+deb8u1
Using only the main repo + security repo results in tzdata not being
updates since wheezy-securities '2016i-0+deb7u1' is higher than
jessies '2016f-0+deb8u1'.
Comment from IRC:
That's indeed unfortunate. You can work around the
problem by adding jessie-updates, though.
I think it's because wheezy didn't have a wheezy-updates,
so all updates must go through wheezy-security, whereas in jessie all
non-critical updates go through jessie-updates, and get wrapped up in
point releases every few months.
It's still a bug though, I'd report it on the tzdata
package. Might warrant a RC severity, since it breaks automatic upgrades
and is easy to fix.
