Public bug reported:

The /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list file shipped with the current
tzdata package has passed its expiration date.

While this doesn't break NTP synchronization because there are no pending leap 
seconds, it causes chronyd to generate the following warning in the system logs 
on every restart and sync cycle:
chronyd: Leap second list /usr/share/zoneinfo/leap-seconds.list needs update

Steps to Reproduce:

Install/Update chrony and tzdata.

Check systemctl status chronyd or syslog.

Workaround:
Manually downloading the latest file from IANA 
(https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tzdb/leap-seconds.list) and restarting chrony 
resolves the warning. Requesting that the tzdata package be updated with the 
refreshed IANA list to prevent log noise.
