[Bug 1920987] Re: Europe/Simferopol, Crimea is RUSSIA

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Is there anything in particular about all the other packages that you
marked them as affected? I suspect that they all use Ubuntu's provided
tzdata as the source of information, and hence they will all be
reflecting simply whatever tzdata tells them. Hence any changes will be
automatically reflected in them, if and when, tzdata is improved.

Would it be ok to close all the other tasks, whilst keeping tzdata one
open?

** Summary changed:

- Europe/Simferopol,	Crimea is RUSSIA
+ IANA tzdata file format cannot represent different country code for a given timezone in different time periods [ i.e. Europe/Simferopol country code changes ]
