Package: tzdata Version: 2016i-0+deb7u1 Severity: critical
Upgrading a fully updated wheezy system (incl. security repo) to jessie (incl. security repo) results in tzdata not being updated because the version in wheezy-security is newer than in jessie. Package tzdata on amd64 wheezy: 2016d-0+deb7u1 wheezy-security: 2016i-0+deb7u1 jessie: 2016f-0+deb8u1 jessie-updates: 2016i-0+deb8u1 jessie-proposed-updates: 2016i-0+deb8u1 Using only the main repo + security repo results in tzdata not being updates since wheezy-securities '2016i-0+deb7u1' is higher than jessies '2016f-0+deb8u1'. Comment from IRC: <petn-randall> That's indeed unfortunate. You can work around the problem by adding jessie-updates, though. <petn-randall> I think it's because wheezy didn't have a wheezy-updates, so all updates must go through wheezy-security, whereas in jessie all non-critical updates go through jessie-updates, and get wrapped up in point releases every few months. <petn-randall> It's still a bug though, I'd report it on the tzdata package. Might warrant a RC severity, since it breaks automatic upgrades and is easy to fix.
