Unable to automatically install 'tzdata2020a' from '.../Artifacts.toml

May be related to #279 but this was not directly an error during download, but after.

this occured during nightly CI for one of our internal packages

For what it is worth, I'm also having the same issue on my local machine, but only with the Julia nightly. It works fine with the latest stable release: Julia-1.5.2.

Hopefully this was just an issue with Julia nightly. Just to check have you see any of these errors since?

[oxinabox]

I have not

[omus]

In PR #441 the deps/build.jl was removed so this is no longer an issue. Included in TimeZones release 1.12
