Bug#196291: Timezone data could be fixed in next security update of libc



Hi,

See bug #190322 (Lithuania is in different time zone now) for more info.

I think, that  timezone data should be fixed in next security update of libc, but it seems security team does not want to include any other patches (see bug #190322)

Darius, maybe you can talk with security team about this ?
