unknown time zone Europe/Amsterdam

[Jille]

What happened:

I was migrating from Google Cloud DNS to TransIP with a new domain name, and it stopped working.

These three log lines keep repeating. I'm assuming the first one is the real problem and the others are just noise.

time="2021-09-11T09:03:30Z" level=error msg="unknown time zone Europe/Amsterdam"
W0911 09:03:44.296169       1 transport.go:288] Unable to cancel request for *instrumented_http.Transport
W0911 09:04:14.299905       1 transport.go:288] Unable to cancel request for *instrumented_http.Transport

No DNS records were added.

What you expected to happen:

I hoped it'd add all our subdomains to the new domain at TransIP.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

I'm not doing anything special, so I suppose just using external-dns with TransIP and maybe a .nl domain name?

Anything else we need to know?:

I wasn't able to figure out where the "unknown time zone Europe/Amsterdam" error message was even coming from.

Environment:

• External-DNS version (use external-dns --version): 0.9.0
• DNS provider: TransIP
• Others:

We patched the docker container by adding RUN apk --no-cache add tzdata and that solved the problem.

Someone else ran into this issue too and filed it on the gotransip side: transip/gotransip#31

Since #2285 has been reverted, seems like this issue has returned. Could this be reopened?

+1 @Owemeone, running into this problem as well.
