"This update includes the changes in tzdata 2017a. Notable changes 
are :

  - Mongolia no longer observes DST.

  - Magallanes region diverges from Santiago starting
    2017-05-13, the America/Punta_Arenas zone has been
    added.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version
2017a-0+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tzdata packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
