[Bug 1814980] [NEW] timedatectl set-timezone UTC Fails

[k]

Public bug reported:

Sorry for the pre-mature post.  First time using this interface.


I noticed this today; an automated AMI build process failed.

The AMI in question is ami-0326c210edce0ffa5 AKA (ubuntu-
eks/k8s_1.10/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-
bionic-18.04-amd64-server-20190204.2).

The automated build process uses a t2.micro, if that's helpful.


```
ubuntu at ip-172-31-29-182:~$ lsb_release --all
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release:	18.04
Codename:	bionic
```


Here's the bug:
```
ubuntu at ip-172-31-29-182:~$ timedatectl list-timezones
UTC
ubuntu at ip-172-31-29-182:~$ timedatectl set-timezone UTC
