Hello,
I could work around the problem by manually installing tzdata and
tzdata-java 2008c. So this may be a bug with apt-get which does not
detect the newer version of tzdata-java. It also does not detect newer
2008d and 2008e versions of tzdata and tzdata-java in the repositories.
May this be caused by the fact that tzdata is on the main repository
while tzdata-java is on universe?
