Package: tzdata
Version: 2021a-1+deb11u7
Dear Debian,

I wanted to change my timezone from europe/amsterdam to utc.
when i viewed the europe/amsterdam timezone file. I got corruption or malware
as I included in this email.

All zone files as I can see contain either corruption or malware.

This is on a fresh install of debian 11.

I am going to reinstall the tzdata package if possible; but it is quite a breach.

Yours truly,

Satish Binda
