[Bug 1683595] Re: tzdata doesn't remove /etc/timezone on purge

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package tzdata - 2022g-7ubuntu2

---------------
tzdata (2022g-7ubuntu2) lunar; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian experimental. Remaining changes:
    - Ship ICU 2022g timezone data which are utilized by PHP in tzdata-icu
    - Do not rename NEWS into changelog.gz, this fixes a build failure on
      moment-timezone.js
    - Point Vcs-Browser/Git to Launchpad
  * Rename new tzdata-right package to tzdata-legacy

tzdata (2022g-7exp1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * Drop /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix (identical to /usr/share/zoneinfo)
    (LP: #2008076)
  * Split right/* timezones into separate tzdata-legacy package (LP: #2008076)

Title:
  tzdata doesn't remove /etc/timezone on purge

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Since version 2017a-1, tzdata will clean up /etc/localtime on purge.
  But it leaves behind /etc/timezone, despite the fact that in some
  cases it creates this file.  I think tzdata should own removing it on
  purge also.
