Severity: minor
Hi,
due to local problems, my zoneinfo file was corrupted (content replaced
with garbage). Setting the timezone with timedatectl set-timezone lead
to the timezone being set to UTC, but using the correct name.
root@zion:/etc# timedatectl # correct here.

Given that zoneinfo files have an obvious magic number and the garbage
file hadn't one, it'd be really great if timedatectl could do basic
sanity checks before loading the file and creating an "invalid"
configuration.
Thanks and regards, David

This was fixed in v239 but I forgot to mention this in the debian changelog.
