I also ran into this using:

- Debian 13

- Interactive Brokers' Trader Workstation

- Racket's `gregor` date and time library

IBKR still sends the old, deprecated US/* timezones. As noted in the article, the solution is to `apt install tzdata-legacy`.

Is there a problem with ISO3166 denoted information in general or is there a specific US issue here? I would think ISO code denoted tzdata was a public good in some sense.

You can see the zones that are deprecated at https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/tzdata-legacy/filelist
