Update tzdata to version 2021e

[Brian Murray]

New upstream version affecting the following timestamp:

$region/$timezone = Asia/Gaza

Verification is done with 'zdump'. The first timezone that gets changed in the updated package is dumped with 'zdump -v $region/$timezone_that_changed' (this needs to be greped for in /usr/share/zoneinfo/). [For example: 'zdump -v Asia/Gaza'.] This is compared to the same output after the updated package got installed. If those are different the verification is considered done.

[Test Case for all releases]
1) zdump -v Asia/Gaza 2021

For releases with ICU timezone data verification is done using the following with dates before and after the change:
[Test Case for releases >= 20.04 LTS]
1) sudo apt-get install python3-icu
2) python3 -c 'from datetime import datetime; from icu import ICUtzinfo, TimeZone; tz = ICUtzinfo(TimeZone.creat eTimeZone('Pacific/Apia')); print(str(tz.utcoffset(datetime(2021, 9, 26))))'

Additionally, an upstream update of tzdata removed the 'old' SystemV timezones, so we should ensure that they are kept in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and earlier releases. Subsequently, these should be checked for using the following:

[Test Case for releases <= 20.04 LTS]
diff <(zdump -v America/Phoenix | cut -d' ' -f2-) <(zdump -v SystemV/MST7 | cut -d' ' -f2-)

Nothing should be returned by the above command.

Okay from the Ubuntu Security team for these tzdata updates to land in security pockets. Thanks!

The verification of the Stable Release Update for tzdata has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
