[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Since libical was updated to 2.0.0, the tzdata path substition has had
no effect due to changes in the upstream source code. [0]

So, libical probably can't find the time zone file, and it doesn't keep
a reference to tzdata.

I assume it needs to be fixed? But what is the impact, if we never
noticed? :)

the substitution was added.

Fixed in be81133a13932bc83b0697d73581a47674ef6987, although I'd still
like to investigate the impact of this bug.
