Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- oracular to verification-done-oracular.

Example: ``` $ 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 ``` [ Test Plan ] Test cases were added for Ubuntu 24.10 (oracular), Ubuntu 24.04 (noble), and Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) to the autopkgtest to cover the testing: * debconf: test_legacy_timezones So the test plan is to check that the autopkgtest succeeds. For older releases, run the example given above. It should exit with 0 and keep the configured timezone. [ Where problems can occur ] The fix touches the code that is used for configuring the timezone. That can cause package update to fail. There are autopkgtest to avoid regressions.
