Subject: timezones: doesn't handle old US/Pacific-New setting
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.1.0
Package: timezones
Version: 2.0.7pre1-1
I upgraded from a bo system to hamm. In the bo system, I had my timezone set
to US/Pacific-New (why is a long story - basically, I wanted to set it to
US/Pacific, but tzconfig wouldn't let me, becuase it wants you to type in
part of the timezone name, and then gives completions, and "Pacific" always
completed to Pacific and Pacific-New, so it seemed impossible to actually
select Pacific. I don't know what Pacific-New was really for).
I used the autoup.sh script to upgrade. So I saw this:
Removing package timezone to permit replacing it with timezones.
(Reading database ... 13279 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing timezone ...
...
Selecting previously deselected package timezones.
Unpacking timezones (from .../base/timezones_2.0.7pre1-1.deb) ...
...
Setting up timezones (2.0.7pre1-1) ...
Your default time zone is US/Pacific-New.
Run /usr/sbin/tzconfig to change it
cp: /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific-New: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing timezones (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
I suggest that to fix this, you either add Pacific-New back in, or
(preferred), add a special case that transforms Pacific-New into Pacific.
