So, I have no idea what happened; manual setting of localtime to UTC (command below) fixed the configuration of the package, allowing the upgrade to continue.
Anyway, I executed the following command to set to UTC, and then proceeded to complete the dist-upgrade from 15.05, and the error from tzdata was resolved; I'll fix my timezone after the upgrade completes. #ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556527 Title: tzdate upgrade fails wih invalid format error during Xenial upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/1556527/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
