Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

Relevant parts of dpkg terminal log:

```

```

The commands ln and mv were not found. They are shipped by the coreutils
package. Please try to reinstall coreutils.

** Package changed: tzdata (Ubuntu) => coreutils (Ubuntu)
