Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Updating the tzdata package will fail on systems that have a legacy
timezone selected (that is not updated to a recent one during dpkg-
reconfigure). 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.
