Title:
  timedatectl set-timezone UTC Fails

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Sorry for the pre-mature post.  First time using this interface.

  I noticed this today; an automated AMI build process failed.

  The AMI in question is ami-0326c210edce0ffa5 AKA (ubuntu-
  eks/k8s_1.10/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-
  bionic-18.04-amd64-server-20190204.2).

  The automated build process uses a t2.micro, if that's helpful.

  ```
  ubuntu at ip-172-31-29-182:~$ lsb_release --all
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
  Release:	18.04
  Codename:	bionic
  ```

  Here's the bug:
  ```
  ubuntu at ip-172-31-29-182:~$ timedatectl list-timezones
  UTC
  ubuntu at ip-172-31-29-182:~$ timedatectl set-timezone UTC
  Failed to set time zone: Invalid time zone 'UTC'
  ubuntu at ip-172-31-29-182:~$ timedatectl
                        Local time: Thu 2019-02-07 00:10:43 UTC
                    Universal time: Thu 2019-02-07 00:10:43 UTC
                          RTC time: Thu 2019-02-07 00:10:44
                         Time zone: n/a (UTC, +0000)
         System clock synchronized: yes
  systemd-timesyncd.service active: yes
                   RTC in local TZ: no
  ```

  If there's anything else that you need, let me know!.

  EDIT:

  
  ```
  ubuntu at ip-172-31-26-66:~$ timedatectl --version
  systemd 237
  +PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ +LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN2 +IDN -PCRE2 default-hierarchy=hybrid
  ```

  (hostname is different because this is a new instance, same AMI)
