Package: tzdata Version: 2011n-0squeeze1 Severity: wishlist It could be useful to have a mechanism so that a tzdata upgrade (or downgrade) would run scripts that could perform actions such as updating any derived data on the system.
As an example we could have one such action a script that runs mysql_tzinfo_to_sql as debian-sys-maint to repopulate the timezone tables with the updated timezone information. As a suggestion, this could be implemented as running all scripts in a /etc/tzdata.d directory at the end of the postinst script. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tzdata depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy tzdata recommends no packages. tzdata suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
