how to change Sugar's timezone+language after XO deployment

[James Cameron]

Supported method for configuring timezone is the "timezone" option in
the "[base]" section of the OS Builder configuration file.

Traceback you show is not fatal, is irrelevant, but is a bug that
should be fixed.

You should not use sudo for this command.  Sugar timezone is not a
system-wide configuration setting; it is local to the user.
