Lenny "invalid date" on upgrade


Hi,

My lenny penguin ran into
Code:
Error retrieving bug reports from the server with the following error message:
 W: invalid date
It could be because your network is down, or because of broken proxy servers, or the BTS server itself is down. Check network configuration and try again
Retry downloading bug information?[Y/n]?
during aptitude full-upgrade. (about 2 month interval since last update)

Web search does not give me much info.

Has anybody ever run into this?

By the way, etch does not have problem, I guess proxy, BTS and network are OK.

Happy Penguins!

Hya,

I am responding myself. It seems (I have not proven yet) that problem arises from wrong timezone data. After correcting the tzdata, things go well.

Happy Penguins!
