I'm confused how we got unmet dependencies, considering that https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/2012j-1ubuntu1/+build/4325902 tzdata and tzdata-java packages are created and published simultaneously.

affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu) → tzdata (Ubuntu)

This was due to a stale semaphore on cdimage that left the squashfs and the .debs on the image out of sync. Respinning.
