Title:
  Wrong UTC zoneinfo in cloud-images

Status in cloud-init:
  Triaged
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ADT runs use cloud-images to create test VM environments. For the Xenial cloud-images I observed a weird issue where libvirt suddenly fails its build-time tests on a time offset test on UTC.
  Looking at the prepared image (cloud-init did already run there), I found that indeed a command-line of

  TZ=UTC date

  reports a CET based time. Looking further this seems to drill down
  into

  /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC -> Zulu

  and that (Zulu another term for UTC) Zulu file looks quite bigger that
  the same on other hosts and contains the CET string as well (normal
  ~128b, wrong size 2335). Forcing a reinstall of tzdata will fix the
  file and also allows the libvirt test to pass.

  So I am not sure this is wrong in the initial image base or gets in
  some way broken during cloud-init. Thats why I start reporting it
  against cloud-init.
