Nothing can be done at the tzdata level, except maybe stopping providing updates to wheezy users. I am therefore reassigning the bug to the "general" package. Also there are probably more than tzdata affected. Note however that you are supposed to use jessie-updates on a jessie system. This is actually enabled by default in debian-installer.

Bug#844315: tzdata version breaks dist-upgrade leaving version from oldstable security installed
I like my systems to have packages from stable and stable security only. So when I do a dist-upgrade and remove old/outdated/not needed packages I expect to have all remaining packages to be from stable. tzdata - although with a newer version - being stuck on oldstable, is not expected. It doesn't break anything in terms of "something doesn't work" but more in terms of "it simply shouldn't be this way". So, I'm with you - "critical" might not be the appropriate severity here. Marcel

What is the "critical" breakage here? If all that "breaks" is that you have the (more recent) 2016i-0+deb7u1 installed until the next point release will update jessie to 2016f-0+deb8u1 (or newer), then this is a purely cosmetical issue. If anything is actually broken, please explain what is broken. Thanks Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.

Bug#844315: tzdata version breaks dist-upgrade leaving version from oldstable security installed
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.
