As advised by CRAN. The errors on the Debian check systems are from a recent system upgrade to tzdata 2024b which did Names present only for compatibility with UNIX System V (last released in the 1990s) have been moved to 'backward'. which includes CET, CST6CDT, EET, EST*, HST, MET, MST*, PST8PDT, and WET. Debian ships the names in 'backward' in a separate package tzdata-legacy which is not installed "by default". The comments in the tzdata 'backward' file say # Although this file is optional and tzdb will work if you omit it by # building with 'make BACKWARD=', in practice downstream users # typically use this file for backward compatibility. so clearly one cannot unconditionally assume that the backward compatibility names will work.
