[Bug 1915365] [NEW] Linux Mint Cinamon installation "tz" data is corrupt

[ineuw]

Public bug reported:

Cinnamon 4.8.6
Mint 20 and 20.1 
Motherboard integrated Intel graphics, generic X display driver
64 bit

**Issue**

In the OS installation process, the "tz" time zone list of places is
corrupt, outdated, and contains non-Canonical place names which were
deprecated long ago. An example is the deprecated listing for
"America/Montreal". This problem affects the installed software and
messes up the time zone and the time setting. Also, the "tz" list is not
searchable by typing the first character, a  poor design for a list that
has nearly over 300 entries.

** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
