Bug#1057572: libsoftware-copyright-perl: FTBFS: Cannot determine local time zone

[Santiago Vila]

Package: src:libsoftware-copyright-perl
Version: 0.012-2
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs

Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, your package failed to build:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
  debian/rules binary
dh binary
    dh_update_autotools_config
    dh_autoreconf
    debian/rules override_dh_dzil_build
make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
perl -p -g -i -E 'say "version = 0.012";' dist.ini
dh_dzil_build
Cannot determine local time zone
[DZ] beginning to build Software-Copyright
dh_dzil_build: error: dzil build --in .build/debian-build returned exit code 2
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:27: override_dh_dzil_build] Error 25
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
make: *** [debian/rules:21: binary] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above is just how the build ends and not necessarily the most relevant part.
If required, the full build log is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202312/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made using virtual machines
from AWS, with enough memory, enough disk, and either one or two
CPUs, using a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you could not reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the BTS web
page for this package.

Thanks.
