[Bug 2012692] Re: package tzdata 2022g-7ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/zoneinfo-icu/44/be/metaZones.res', which is also in package tzdata-icu 2022g-7ubuntu2

[Benjamin Drung]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

You are running Ubuntu 23.04 (lunar), but you want to install tzdata
2023a-0ubuntu0.22.10.0 from Ubuntu 22.10 (kinetic). I recommend to fix
your APT sources list.

tzdata was split in lunar. tzdata 2023b-1exp1ubuntu1 in lunar-proposed
ensures that it correctly conflicts even with tzdata updates in older
Ubuntu releases. So I am marking this bug as fixed.

** Changed in: tzdata (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
