Bug#455783: Script tzdata.postinst fails: /usr/bin/tzconfig not found
Package: tzdata
Version: 2007j-1etch1
Severity: important
When I try to upgrade the tzdata pakage I get the following messages.
Setting up tzdata (2007j-1etch1) ...
Running 'tzconfig' to set this system's timezone.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst: line 27: /usr/sbin/tzconfig: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
tzdata
The tzconfig program is in the package libc6 for etch, but no package currently
lenny or sid has it.
It may be possible to upgrade with a non-interactive front-end and change the
time zone by hand afterwards, but a postinst script may not assume the prezence
of a program that is not provided by a dependency or an essential package.
Maybe this bug should be reassigned to the package that should contain tzconfig.
