Hello Pablo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted tzdata into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/2017c-
0ubuntu0.14.04 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-trusty to verification-done-trusty. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-trusty. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Bug description:
  Mongolia stopped following DST this year. The timezone information in
  Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS is outdated:

  $ TZ=Asia/Ulaanbaatar date --date="2017-05-16 12:15 UTC" +%H:%M
  21:15

  The correct output is '20:15'.

  This has been updated in version 2017a of tzdata. My Ubuntu 16.04 is
  using 2016j. I guess the previous LTS versions are also affected.
