Availability of tzdata 2022c for Ubuntu 20.04

Asked by Jason Brant

tzdata 2022b and 2022c were just released that includes some timezone changes for Chile. According to the tzdata lib listed for Ubuntu 20.04, the latest package is 2022a. Any idea when 2022b or 2022c will be available? Chile made a change to the start of their daylight savings and pushed it from Sept 4th to the 11th, so we really need our servers updated before the 4th.

Thanks

Jason

Ubuntu is copying packages from Debian (to avoid double packaging work), and Debian has published a first package with the 2022c version two days ago, see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/tzdata

I assume that Ubuntu is going to copy it, as soon as sufficient testing of that package has been performed.

You are invited to create a bug report in the Ubuntu bug tracker, to make the developers aware of the short time left.

Can you help with this problem?
