Misspelled Ukrainian cities in tzdata

[Denys Gulak]

When user is prompted to choose a city in the region 'Europe' they have a choice of 4 cities in Ukraine:

23. Kiev -> should be Kyiv
46. Simferopol - > OK
54. Uzhgorod -> should be Uzhhorod
62. Zaporozhye -> should be Zaporizhzhia

The 'should be' variant is the only correct transliteration from Ukrainian into English.

There seems to be a first step into that direction in version 2022b (still to be packaged for Ubuntu) https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdb/NEWS

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

And the remaining cities are addressed in 2022d: "Simplify three Ukraine zones into one". Uzhgorod and Zaporozhye are merged into Europe/Kyiv.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted tzdata (2022e-0ubuntu0.22.04.0) for jammy have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

chrony/4.2-2ubuntu2 (armhf)
gnustep-base/1.28.0-4build1 (armhf)

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

Thank you!

[Dan Bungert (dbungert)]

I retried the gnustep-base test. The chrony failure is marked pass but has stderr output, thus failing dep8.

[Simon Chopin (schopin)]

I retried chrony and it passed :)

[Simon Chopin (schopin)]

As for verification, I verified this using the following command in LXC containers:

❯ LANG=C timedatectl list-timezones | grep Kyiv
Europe/Kyiv

This worked in all containers.
