Bug#632720: tzdata: fails to install when setting debconf values beforehand

[Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>]

Package: tzdata
Version: 2011h-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

this problem was present since 2011h-1 and while I can install tzdata
again since bug #631878 is fixed, I still get the exact same error as
described in that bug report when using debconf-set-selections before
package installation:

Setting up tzdata (2011h-3) ...
dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tzdata

This is how to reproduce the problem:

$ sudo multistrap -f multistrap.conf

multistrap.conf:
-%<--------------------------------------
[General]
arch=
directory=debian-sid-multistrap
cleanup=true
debootstrap=Debian
aptsources=Debian
debconfseed=tzdata.debconf

[Debian]
packages=apt
source=http://cdn.debian.net/debian
keyring=debian-archive-keyring
suite=sid
->%--------------------------------------

tzdata.debconf:
-%<--------------------------------------
tzdata  tzdata/Zones/Europe     select  Berlin
tzdata  tzdata/Areas    select  Europe
->%--------------------------------------

To not encounter the problem, either comment the debconfseed line in
multistrap.conf or the lines in tzdata.debconf. Multistrap will run fine
then.

cheers, josch
