Package: tzdata
Version: 2021a-1+deb11u7
Dear Debian,
I wanted to change my timezone from europe/amsterdam to utc.
when i viewed the europe/amsterdam timezone file. I got corruption or
malware
as I included in this email.
All zone files as I can see contain either corruption or malware.
This is on a fresh install of debian 11.
I am going to reinstall the tzdata package if possible; but it is quite a
breach.
Yours truly,
Satish Binda
