In case someone wants a quick fix, here is how to downgrade tzdata:

# list versions
sudo apt-show-versions tzdata -a

# choose any version before 2013g*
sudo apt-get install tzdata=2012e-0ubuntu0.12.04.1

And here is how to lock that version so apt-get doesn't try to upgrade
it

# open file that probably doesn't exist
sudo nano /etc/apt/preferences.d/tzdata

# and put the following in it, adjust the version to the downgraded one you 
used above, save & exit
Package: tzdata
Pin: version 2012e*
Pin-Priority: 1000
