new upstream release 2020d

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted tzdata into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/2020d-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted tzdata (2020d-1ubuntu1) for groovy have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

gnustep-base/1.27.0-3build3 (armhf)

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

Here's a debdiff for 12.04.

Here's a debdiff for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Thanks Brian, these look good, will take these into Trusty and Precise ESM.

(For the record, I noticed that the 2020d dropped the US/Pacific-New timezone, which was a symlink to the US/Pacific timezone. Testing demonstrated that a system with a configured Pacific-New timezone functioned correctly post package upgrade. See debian bug 815200 for details on why it was dropped.)

Also, Ubuntu Security Team ack on publishing the xenial, bionic, focal, and groovy versions to the respective -security pockets for those releases, despite building in -proposed; there are no binaries or dependencies that should cause an issue.
