.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
So, I just screwed up a timezone file on my Debian system because I pointed it as a link to /etc/localtime vs. pointing /etc/localtime to it. Specifically, /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Puerto_Rico.
I'm obviously way too deep to reinstall the server for the sake of one file. Where can I find and restore just this one file?
I'm using SMP Debian 4.9.144-3.1 (2019-02-19) x86_64.

The command you need is:
apt-get install --reinstall tzdata
Background
To know which package contains the file you damaged, you could do a
dlocate -S /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Puerto_Rico
or
dpkg-query -S /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Puerto_Rico
which will tell you that the file is in the package tzdata.
Once you know that, it's just a matter of telling the package manager to reinstall that package.
