--- Check /etc/tz-brasil.conf option SUPRESS_WRONG_TIMEZONE_WARNING

Current timezone is ==> User <==
Please change it using the command 'tzconfig'

The message "check answer" also points to the wrong filename -- in Ubuntu at least it's timezone.txt.gz.

Note that this stems from Gutsy's /etc/timezone saying "User defined". I'm not sure why exactly it's doing this -- is it standard or acceptable do this now?

I have the same problem here. To fix it, I executed:

sudo time-admin

in my case, there was no selected Time Zone (Fuso Horário in Portuguese), so I picked America/Sao_Paulo
and solved the problem.

Why this package is necessary? Just the tzdata package shouldn't be enough?

Although there is also a bug in tzdata
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/152113
it already get fixed.

Maybe the tz-brasil changed the file /etc/timezone
