They do, at least libc depends on it.

Timedatectl is used by systemd to set/change the timezone.

I wonder if rolling back to the previous tzdata package and holding it there wouold help, but I'm not sure.

If it does, that could indicate a packaging problem, not a tzdata problem.

I've had no problems here since the tzdata update. My systems are all SysV at the moment.
