Bugzilla "undef error - Cannot determine local time zone" error in Ubuntu 10.10

After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10, the installation of Bugzilla I had running with little issues since Ubuntu 9.04 suddenly broke with a glaring red box that said "undef error - Cannot determine local time zone" every time I tried to list bugs or display them.

After trying the suggestions at mozilla.support.bugzilla, I was unable to get Bugzilla to recognize the system's timezone setting. So, I just went hardcore and moved the existing time zone setting out of the way, and made a new symbolic link directly to the timezone file:

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /etc/localtime

Surprisingly, it worked...
