I can reproduce the failure in a bionic, jammy, and oracular chroot: ``` $ schroot-wrapper -p tzdata -c jammy -u root (jammy)root@host:~# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT /etc/localtime (jammy)root@host:~# DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure tzdata (jammy)root@host:~# echo $? 10 ```
This is a bug that should be fixed. dpkg-reconfigure should not fail on those legacy timezones. Upstream dropped those legacy timezones in the 2024b release. So I recommend switching to the country/city timezones (like US/Central) or to the Etc/GMT* zones in case you want to ignore DST. The current plan is to keep these legacy timezones in place for the stable release (to not enforce those changes to our customers on the stable releases). -- 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/2070285 Title: package tzdata 2024a-3ubuntu1.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed tzdata package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10 Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+filebug/fb042db4-3232-11ef-b78b-9b3aa32b5f1b?field.title=package+tzdata+2024a-3ubuntu1.1+failed+to+install%2Fupgrade%3A+installed+tzdata+package+post- installation+script+subprocess+returned+error+exit+status+10 ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 24.04 Package: tzdata 2024a-3ubuntu1.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.5.0-1018.21-raspi 6.5.13 Uname: Linux 6.5.0-1018-raspi aarch64 ApportVersion: 2.28.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: arm64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CloudArchitecture: aarch64 CloudID: nocloud CloudName: unknown CloudPlatform: nocloud CloudSubPlatform: config-disk (/dev/mmcblk0p1) Date: Mon Jun 24 09:04:36 2024 DuplicateSignature: package:tzdata:2024a-3ubuntu1.1 Setting up tzdata (2024a-3ubuntu1.1) ... dpkg: error processing package tzdata (--configure): installed tzdata package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10 ErrorMessage: installed tzdata package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10 PackageArchitecture: all Python3Details: /usr/bin/python3.12, Python 3.12.3, python3-minimal, 3.12.3-0ubuntu1 PythonDetails: N/A RebootRequiredPkgs: Error: path contained symlinks.
