    Adept error while installing tzdata update

    Hi,

    I have been a new Kubuntu user for about a month now, All was fine until today when I received a error in adept while updating Kubuntu, I received the following error while updating tzdata

    Could not commit changes
    There was a error committing changes. Possibly, there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.

    I then opened a terminal window and typed:

    magnum@kubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
    Setting up tzdata (2007h-0ubuntu0.7.10) ...
    dpkg: error processing tzdata (--configure):
    subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 10
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    tzdata
    magnum@kubuntu:~$



    sudo apt-get install -f

    After the update my time zone will not adjust to the proper time and I can not set my monthly calender proper weekday. Is there anything that I can do to repair this problem? Do I have to reinstall Kubuntu?

    Thank you

    Verify that your Regional & Language information is actually set. K Menu | System Settings | Regional & Language

      Hi Snowhog,

      My Regional & Language is set correctly to New York and to English. My timeclock on the task bar is 5 hours behind. If I right mouse click on the time and select Adjust Date and Time to BamaKco Africa my time clock on my task bar is now adjusted 5 hours ahead to my correct time in Maryland. The time and day in settings | Regional & Language does not match my adjust date and time on my taskbar time clock.

      Thank you

        Re: Adept error while installing tzdata update

        Hmm... If reinstalling the tzdata package doesn't fix it, try this:
        Code:
        sudo apt-get -d tzdata
sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge tzdata
sudo apt-get install tzdata
        It's a little drastic (and risky), but it should work. It'll first download the tzdata package (just to make sure), then purge it (but leaving packages that depend on it intact), and then installing it again.
        I'd use the --simulate option on the dpkg --purge before doing it for real, just to make sure. It does what it's supposed to here (with --simulate).

          Thank you, SheeEttin. That worked great. My time appears to be working properly now.

            Which did you do, the simple reinstall or the full purge-install?
            If you did the purge-install, did you try the reinstall first?

              Hi, SheeEttin,

              I first tried the reinstall and it did not work due to a processing error. l then tried the full purge install. My time is still correct this morning, after setting it last night.

              Thank you, again for your help.
