[Bug 1679865] Re: coreutils FTBFS during zesty test rebuild

[Tiago Stürmer Daitx]

This is caused by a change in the new TZ as reported at [1]. A fix is
provided in [2] but required a small change for the first chunk to apply
cleanly - see attached debdiff.

Other option is to sync the newest version, 8.28-1 [3,4], which includes
the fix upstream and builds cleanly.
