Yes, Debian is lagging behind somewhat; I noticed this because the machine I'm typing this email on runs Ubuntu, downstream from Debian.
Although TZDB 2025a (released January 15) was accepted into Debian unstable tzdata on January 17, it didn't make it to Debian testing until February 21, was not accepted into Debian proposed-updates until March 1, and still hasn't made it into Debian stable.[1]
Yes, things got a bit more complicated than usual as TZDB 2025a broke the postgresql testsuite. That blocked the migration to testing until postgresql got fixed. We could have reverted the change on the TZDB side, but given the timing was acceptable wrt the March 22 change we decided to wait.
This won't give Debian's users and downstream distros much time to update before their clocks start to go wrong on March 22 in Paraguay.
As you mentioned, the change is in proposed-updates already and will be released as part of the 12.10 Bookworm point release on March 15th 2025, along with a fixed postgresql release. Regards Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurelien@aurel32.net http://aurel32.net
