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

Hi,

Indeed the problem seems to have been to only supply those two lines to
debconf-set-selections:

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

When putting everything that `debconf-get-selection | grep tzdata`
outputs into that file, it will work.

tzdata.debconf:
-%<--------------------------------------
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Australia	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/US	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Asia	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Etc	select	UTC
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/SystemV	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Arctic	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Pacific	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Antarctica	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Europe	select	Berlin
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Africa	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/America	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Areas	select	Europe
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Atlantic	select	
tzdata	tzdata/Zones/Indian	select	
->%--------------------------------------

It was working with only supplying those two lines before tzdata 2011h-1
but that those additional lines are needed now is of course not a bug.
So I think I can close this one. Sorry for the trouble.

cheers, josch
