Of these Ubuntu is best known, and it has several downstream distros that I assume are also affected. So Ubuntu may be the most important laggard for Paraguay.
Canonical took the hint. This morning, my Ubuntu 24.10 got an updated tzdata :)
My Ubuntu 24.04 (the latest long-term support version) VM, which, as I remember, I updated yesterday or perhaps earlier, also appears to report the right time for Paraguay. (As does the macOS 13.7.4 host on which it's running; Apple has, as I remember somebody indicating, a separate update mechanism for data updates such as tzdb updates, so they may just happen quietly in the background. Unfortunately, the mechanism they use to provoke processes into loading a different tz file, to handle the case of a mobile machine moving across time zone boundaries, isn't, as far as I know, used ro provoke processes into reloading the *current* tz file when it's updated.)
