Public bug reported: While searching in every possible package why I could not deploy few apps on a fresh ubuntu precise lts install, it boiled down to this if I'm not mistaken. (could not find anywhere else where Montreal timezone was removed)
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/152837885/tzdata_2013d-0ubuntu0.12 .04_2013g-0ubuntu0.12.04.diff.gz Now I can understand that Toronto and Montreal share the same timezone, just like New York, but I believe it is very wrong to remove it, and even more to remove it from the LTS version because it affect many things up to php and will require most php ubuntu servers deployed in this province of 8 million people.. to update there config file, if they figure out that Montreal was taken. America\Montreal is still on: php's page - http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php the internet authority timezone database (as of 2013-10-25) - http://www.iana.org/time-zones and in default /usr/share/zoneinfo as well LTS should equal not braking things such as this. * It possibly also has effects during ubuntu installation because on my latest 2 installs within the last week, it auto-detected toronto instead of montreal like it usually does, but montreal was still in the list.
