Ugh, my apologies, even though I typed /etc/timezone in the email, I was actually doing piping the output to /etc/localtime. I noticed that and changed it to /etc/timezone and then did the dpkg-reconfigure and it worked. FYI: for future reference # echo 'America/New_York' > /etc/timezone # dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata Works.
