[Bug 1995864] Re: UnknownTimeZoneError: 'Europe/Kyiv' in python3-tz

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Hello Valentyna, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python-tz into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-
tz/2022.1-1ubuntu0.22.04.0 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, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

  UnknownTimeZoneError: 'Europe/Kyiv' in python3-tz

Status in python-tz source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed
Status in python-tz source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  I install latest updates on my Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 and timezone has changed from Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv, which caused error in my service:
  pytz.exceptions.UnknownTimeZoneError: 'Europe/Kyiv'

  The problem exists on:
  Ubuntu 20.04 python3-tz version - 2019.3-1
  Ubuntu 22.04 with version of python3-tz - 2022.1-1.
  The problem is solved for kinetic release. Could you please add 'Europe/Kyiv' timezone for previous releases.

  [ Test plan ]

  Execute following script:

  ```
  #!/usr/bin/python3
  from pytz import timezone
  print(timezone('Europe/Kyiv'))
  ```

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  The list of timezones are brought up-to-date with the latest tzdata
  version, but this can cause failures with outdated tzdata package
  versions.
