It seems that timezone issue is related to JDBC update https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26515700/mysql-jdbc-driver-5-1-33-time-zone-issue:
After reading through that post i can't figure out the right approach. To many different suggestions. Certainly wouldn't be ok if you have to change that string twice per year (another vote for stopping clock moving madness..:))

A user reports that he was only able to setup 4.3.2 on Debian after running this command: timedatectl set-timezone UTC

Also, not just upgrade, but fresh installs are problematic for people on Debian. I have just tried to do this in my Ubuntu VM and i run into same permissions issue like with Windows, when launcher is running without Run as admin option. I can only run Openfire via sudo without issues. If i run with regular user, it shows Current password prompt during fresh setup similar as in https://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/OF-1298

I wonder if timezone issue is related to mysql connector update.
Ever since 4.3.0 release i have seen a number of reports about issues with upgrades on Debian/Ubuntu based systems.
One of the most common issues seems to be related to permissions, as Openfire for some reason is not able to update config files although users report permissions are correct and hasn't changed.
Another often mentioned issue is with timezone ID in the database connection string. This can be related to Java update, though Debian version doesn't have Java bundled. Users have to update timezone ID to something else.
Some users also report logs being completely empty.
