Bug#631878: fails to install in cdebootstrap
Package: tzdata
Version: 2011h-1
Severity: normal
Hi
Since tzdata was upgraded to 2011h-1 (this worked fine with tzdata
2011g-1) cdebootstrap fails installing tzdata:
# cdebootstrap --debug -v --arch=amd64 --flavour=minimal sid /mnt/ http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian

manually:

# dpkg --configure -a

This also seems to work fine in debootstrap, so it might also expose
an issue in cdebootstrap's non-interactive debconf handling:
# debootstrap --verbose --arch=amd64 --variant=minbase sid /mnt/ http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian

I: Base system installed successfully.
Likewise I don't observe any issues while upgrading from tzdata 2011g-1
to 2011h-1 on an installed system (with an interactive/ dialog based
debconf frontend).
