Comment 5 for bug 164254

To get past the install error I edited line 27 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst and replaced /usr/sbin/tzconfig with /usr/bin/tzselect:

Before:

    else
        echo "Running 'tzconfig' to set this system's timezone."
        /usr/sbin/tzconfig
    fi
After:

     else
        echo "Running 'tzselect' to set this system's timezone."
        /usr/bin/tzselect
    fi
