Bug Description

On Ubuntu 22.04.1 (and 20.04.x) there is no option available for Quito.

On GNOME
========

Settings > Date & Time > (A map is displayed)

Type Quito on the search field.

There are no matches.

On KDE
======

System Settings > Regional Settings > Date & Time > Time Zone

When searching for the time zone I enter:

Quito

There are no matches.

The entries for Ecuador are Galapagos Islands and Guayaquil. Quito is the capital city of Ecuador, whereas Guayaquil is the second biggest. It makes no sense for the capital not to be displayed in the city list, but to have the second.

It is akin to have Marseille as the main choice for France instead of Paris.

Thank you for your bug report, the choice of the city to display for Ecuador is coming from tzdata, you can see an old similar report on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=131320 for example
