[Brian Murray]

Hello mlx, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/247.3-3ubuntu3.2 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

Bug description:
  [impact]

  timedatectl list-timezones doesn't show many common timezones that are
  actually considered 'aliases', such as Europe/Bratislava or
  US/Eastern.

  [test case]

  $ timedatectl list-timezones | grep Eastern
  $

  [regression potential]

  any regression would likely result in an incorrect list of timezones
  shown from list-timezones, or failure to correctly set a timezone

  [scope]

  this is needed in f and later

  this is fixed upstream with PR 20066 which was just merged, so this is
  needed in all releases in ubuntu

  in bionic, the 'tzdata.zi' file that the new code uses isn't present,
  so this won't work on bionic, thus marking it wontfix

  [original description]

  Is there some filter determining which timezones are displayed by
  `timedatectl list-timezones`? My zone, Europe/Bratislava, is missing.
  Even stranger, it can successfully be set by timedatectl.
