[Bug 1920987] Re: IANA tzdata file format cannot represent different country code for a given timezone in different time periods [ i.e. Europe/Simferopol country code changes ]

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

In the iso-codes package there is a related issue, ISO 3166-2:RU
contains no codes for the Russian-administered Republic of Crimea and
Federal City of Sevastopol. Instead the UA codes are still specified,
i.e. UA-43 for Crimea.

** Also affects: iso-codes (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- IANA tzdata file format cannot represent different country code for a given timezone in different time periods [ i.e. Europe/Simferopol country code changes ]
+ IANA tzdata file format cannot represent different country code for a given timezone in different time periods [ i.e. Europe/Simferopol country code changes ]; iso 3166-2 has no RU subdivisions for Crimea
