    Package        : tzdata
    Version        : 2021a-0+deb10u8

    This update includes the changes in tzdata 2022e. Notable
    changes are:

    - - Syria and Jordan are abandoning the DST regime and are changing to
      permanent +03, so they will not fall back from +03 to +02 on
      2022-10-28.

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
    2021a-0+deb10u8.

    We recommend that you upgrade your tzdata packages.

    For the detailed security status of tzdata please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/tzdata
