  Also affect trusty and vivid in the same way.  Testing on trusty shows that this broke with the release of tzdata=2015f-0ubuntu0.14.04, prior to that tzdata version country_names could parse the data.  debdiff shows that tzdata=2015f-0ubuntu0.14.04 changes this file, and others to utf-8 from ascii.
