[Bug 2070285] Re: package tzdata 2024a-3ubuntu1.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed tzdata package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10

[Ashwin Kini]

This affects us too with same error.    
  
seen on Bionic instance with version: 2024a-0ubuntu0.18.04.1+esm1 old version: 2023c-0ubuntu0.18.04.   

earlier:
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/CET.   

workaround:

sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central /etc/localtime.

and then installation went through fine.

Please advise if CET is no more supported and along with that if there
are more TZ's that are deprecated (if so) or if this is a bug that will
be fixed in next release (release # and ETA pls)

Thanks
