Package: tzdata
Version: 2007e-6
Severity: important

I'm running a couple autobuilders, and since the latest upgrade of
tzdata, none of them will work properly because of the following:

Fetched 797kB in 3s (252kB/s)
Setting up tzdata (2007e-6) ...
dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tzdata
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
 apt-get failed.
Package installation failed

I logged into the build chroots trying to figure out what was going on:

debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not
installed

I eventually tried to install 'dialog' just in case but it didn't help.

Then I edited /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst to add a '-x':

buildd@envy:~$ sudo vi
chroots/chroot-sid/var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst
buildd@envy:~$ sudo chroot chroots/chroot-sid/

This bug happens on all my autobuilders, rendering them completely
unusable (alpha, hppa, ia64, ppc).
