Bug#39585: tzconfig from libc6 2.1.1-11 broken



Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.1-11

Symptoms :

Setting up libc6 (2.1.1-11) ...
Running `tzconfig\' to set this system's timezone.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: /usr/sbin/tzconfig: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Fix :

  /usr/sbin/tzconfig first line starts with "#! /Bin/sh"
  which is wrong. Should be lower case.

note : I also suggest to apply the following cosmetic patch...

*** /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst.orig      Tue Jun 15 23:16:36 1999
--- /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst   Tue Jun 15 23:16:45 1999
***************
*** 23,29 ****
  }
  set_timezone()
  {
!     echo "Running \`tzconfig\' to set this system's timezone."
      /usr/sbin/tzconfig
  }
  
--- 23,29 ----
  }
  set_timezone()
  {
!     echo -e "Running \`tzconfig\' to set this system's timezone."
      /usr/sbin/tzconfig
  }
