7.10 RC Update Installation Errors

This looks like tzdata's postinst script causes the trouble.

Can you paste the output of "sudo apt-get install -f"?
And maybe also what "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" does?
(Please execute both statements in a terminal)

When I ran suo apt-get install -f this is what i got(sorry its long):

I've found this: http://de.pastebin.ca/534882, which suggests running:
DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg --configure tzdata

Please provide the output for this. Maybe it's the same problem (some "non-existent" timezone).

tboggs@TBOGGS:~$ sudo DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer dpkg --configure tzdata
[sudo] password for tboggs:
sudo: DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer: command not found

DEBCONF_DEBUG is a environment variable.
Please use:
DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer sudo dpkg --configure tzdata

tboggs@TBOGGS:~$ DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer sudo dpkg --configure tzdata

The Fix- Set your timezone to London for a second. It's weird, but it works.

Maybe you can help me with one more thing, 7.10 does not detect my HDA1 which is my windows partition, like the previous install did, is there a way I can fix this?
