Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I am really puzzled how a pending update for tzdata could cause this
behavior. Do you still have that server and experience this problem?

Title:
BIOS "power on at specified time" stops working if "tzdata" not
updated after 14 days
Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: tzdata
My backup server is configured in BIOS to auto power on at 0300 daily
and backup my main server.
I recently realised that for the last week it has not been powering on
and running backups. When I look in the syslog I can see that it was
running fine until a week ago and has not powered on since.
"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" shows one package "tzdata" awaiting
installation on this machine. I can see that this package became
available 2 weeks before BIOS auto power on stopped working - it was
reported as available for 14 days and on the 15th day (and every day
since) the auto power on did not happen.
Having manually installed the "tzdata" update, the server is now
working correctly again.
The exact same problem happened many months ago and by looking back
through logs I can see that again it happened 14 days after a "tzdata"
update became available. On that previous occasion when I installed
this package manually the server again started powering up correctly.
As such there seems to be some link between "tzdata" packages
available but not installed, and the ability of BIOS auto power on to
function correctly.
