[Bug 1946623] Re: Asia/Novosibirsk zoneinfo file contains string 'Asia/Novosibirsk' instead of actual zone info

[Benjamin Drung]

I just checked Ubuntu 18.04 with the latest tzdata 2022g-0ubuntu0.18.04
and the file is correct there:

```
(bionic)root at host:~# hd /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Novosibirsk | head -n 3
00000000  54 5a 69 66 32 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |TZif2...........|
00000010  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a  00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00  |................|
00000020  00 00 00 45 00 00 00 0a  00 00 00 10 80 00 00 00  |...E............|
```

So I assume that it was fixed since your report. If you still experience
this issue, please reopen this bug report to investigate further.

Title:
  Asia/Novosibirsk zoneinfo file contains string 'Asia/Novosibirsk'
  instead of actual zone info

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  OS: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
  tzdata package: 2021a-2ubuntu0.18.04

  Problem: the packages updates file

  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Novosibirsk

  with 17-byte file containing string 'Asia/Novosibirsk', instead of
  actual zone info file.

  The above leads to multiple hard to handle issues with a number of
  installed software (e.g. PHP function mktime() begins to segfault
  without a reason).

  To fix that, I copy a valid file from 20.04.* distribution's latest
  tzdata.

  The above (mentioned file replacement) happens periodically without
  any visible logic in it.
