Public bug reported:
When /etc/localtime is protected from manipulation, such as with the
immutable flag — something which is often required when leasing
virtuals, to keep the vendors’ frameworks from screwing with the
filesystem — an update to tzdata will crap out, killing dpkg and apt,
which leaves the tty a mess.
Instead, should it be impossible to overwrite the existing
/etc/localtime, the script should continue without error.
** Affects: tzdata (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
