"Edgy Knot2

I'm using debootstrapped Edgy install. Using tzconfig, I noticed that timezone was set to 'Unknown' as default.

$ tzconfig
Your current time zone is set to Unknown
Do you want to change that? [n]: y

After I changed the value to 'Europe/Helsinki', time-admin doesn't crash anymore.
This bug should be reproducible if timezone is set to Unknown first.
