Thank you for your bug report
- wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/2019a-0ubuntu0.16.04/+build/16645006/+files/tzdata_2019a-0ubuntu0.16.04_all.deb
- dpkg-deb -x tzdata_2019a-0ubuntu0.16.04_all.deb dir
- looking to the file extracted the corresponding line is
'RU	+5502+08255	Asia/Novosibirsk	MSK+04 - Novosibirsk'

Can you try to reinstall the package in case it got locally corrupted
for some reason?

Title:
  tzdata package contains invalid entry for Asia/Novosibirsk

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu version: 16.04.6

  Problem: in the latest release of tzdata (2019a-0ubuntu0.16.04) the
  entry for Asia/Novosibirsk consists of text file with the below line
  only:

  Asia/Novosibirsk

  Apart from not working as /etc/localtime, it also creates cryptic
  errors in other packages (such as PHP complaining on invalid date/time
  database).

  After I replaced the above file with the one from Ubuntu 18.04.2
  tzdata's latest release, the error was gone.
