Bug description:
  [Impact]
  tzselect's TZDIR variable is set to pwd causing it to fail:

  [Test Case]
  $ tzselect
  /usr/bin/tzselect: line 171: /home/ubuntu/iso3166.tab: No such file or directory
  /usr/bin/tzselect: time zone files are not set up correctly

  [Regression Potential]
  This patch is taken from upstream to fix this issue.

  [Workaround]
  Change /usr/bin/tzselect from:
  ${TZDIR=`pwd`}
  to
  ${TZDIR=/usr/share/zoneinfo}
