The current zdump (2018g), if built in the default way, behaves like this: $ zdump ./New_York || echo failed $? ./New_York: No such file or directory failed 1 which at least lets you know that zdump isn't doing what you thought it would do.
Linux distros using glibc package zdump, zic, tzselect in a binary helper package called libc-bin on Debian/Ubuntu, glibc-common on RH distros, and other base (or sometimes optional) packages on other Linux and non-Linux distros. Distro releases of zdump, zic may be updated with tzdata releases, or when the distro maintainer decides tzcode updates need applied, and that may be selective. Run zdump --version to get some idea of the zdump release (often just libc ver). -- Take care.
