[tz] tzdata2016g missing version information

[Dempsey, Peter]

Hi,

I am tried to update the time zone database on my PC using the Oracle TimeZone Updater but was unable to because of an error given about the VERSION. Below is the output from the command:


1.       Using the timezone database from www.iana.org:
C:\tzupdater>java -jar .\tzupdater.jar -v -l http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz
Using http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz as source for tzdata bundle.
java.home: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101
java.vendor: Oracle Corporation
java.version: 1.8.0_101
tzupdater version 2.1.0-b04
JRE tzdata version: tzdata2016d
Downloaded file to C:\Users\abc\AppData\Local\Temp\tz.tmp\tzdata.tar.gz
Source directory does not contain file: VERSION


2.       Using the local timezone database:
C:\tzupdater>java -jar .\tzupdater.jar -v -l file:///c:/tzupdater/tzdata2016g.tar.gz
Using file:///c:/tzupdater/tzdata2016g.tar.gz as source for tzdata bundle.
java.home: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101
java.vendor: Oracle Corporation
java.version: 1.8.0_101
tzupdater version 2.1.0-b04
JRE tzdata version: tzdata2016d
Downloaded file to C:\Users\abc\AppData\Local\Temp\tz.tmp\tzdata.tar.gz
Source directory does not contain file: VERSION

I browsed to the folder C:\Users\abc\AppData\Local\Temp\tz.tmp\ and see that there is file called VERSION and its' content is: tzdataunknown

What do I need to do to get this working?

Best regards,

Pete
