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

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for the apport-collect.

It's possible your package is not the Ubuntu package, but a modified
Mint package, OR you ran `apport-collect` on a system that didn't have
it installed (ie. Ubuntu installation media not present or detected)..
The string `ubiquity-20.04.15+linuxmint13` isn't a valid package version
for Ubuntu, not matching any results of a command line search which show
14 expected strings for supported releases 2.10.16 -> 21.04.9)

Either way, this is likely to not get much attention in Ubuntu, given
the package is expected to be used only for one more release (hirsute,
plus some older re-spins) as work progresses on its replacement;

Title:
  Linux Mint Cinamon installation "tz" data is corrupt

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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  In the OS installation process, the "tz" time zone list of places is corrupt, outdated, and contains non-Canonical place names which were deprecated long ago.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.
