This bug now affects me on both 12.04.5 LTS x64 as well as 14.04 LTS x64. Package: /var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata_2014i-0ubuntu0.12.04_all.deb Error: unable to make backup link of `./usr/share/zoneinfo/ROC' before installing new version: Operation not permitted
Tried to install time-zone and daylight-saving time data update. Same issue that occurred during 14.04 distribution upgrade. Please investigate this issue immediately, I believe this can become a very serious bug in the entire Ubuntu timezone system, especially if it has anything to do with why my apt package became broken after a bad update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to tzdata in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1373217 Title: package tzdata 2014e-0ubuntu0.12.04 failed to install/upgrade: unable to make backup link of `./usr/share/zoneinfo/ROC' before installing new version: Operation not permitted Status in “tzdata” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I posted about this problem on askubuntu.com.
