[Bug 1858210] Re: timedatectl doesn't list all timezones

[Dan Streetman]

This is because Europe/Bratislava is a timezone alias (to
Europe/Prague), and systemd currently parses the 'zone1970.tab' to the
the list of valid timezones; however that file only lists actual
timezones, not timezone aliases.

I opened upstream pull request to change systemd to parse 'tzdata.zi'
instead, which lists both actual timezones as well as aliases, which
should fix this and list all zones and aliases from 'timedatectl list-
timezones'

  Is there some filter determining which timezones are displayed by
  `timedatectl list-timezones`? My zone, Europe/Bratislava, is missing.
  Even stranger, it can successfully be set by timedatectl.
