If you don't have tzdata-java installed (I think it comes from OpenJDK), 
there's no need to install the updated version.  But if you do, you 
really want to install both.  Otherwise, apt will complain about broken 
packages.  tzdata-java depends on the specific version of tzdata, so you 
want to have them on the same version.

I don't think so.  I believe these packages just contain data about 
timezones, so there shouldn't be issues of compatibility.  I've had no 
problems with the new versions on either of my 12.04 systems.

Title:
  Time is wrong (prematurely ended DST) in Chile

Status in “tzdata” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 12.10 is still using the 2012e release of tzdata, which doesn't
  reflect the latest changes to Chilean Daylight Saving Time:

  http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/chile-extends-dst-2013.html

  As a result, the time for Chile is wrong by one hour, as of today.

  Updating to the 2013a release:

  http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2013-March/000009.html

  ... ought to fix it.
