Unknown or incorrect time zone error

Sometimes I get this error on replication slaves. I had created an index on the master and the command replicated to the slave. However, replication broken on the slave and the error from "show slave status" was the following:

Error 'Unknown or incorrect time zone: 'America/Denver'' on query. Default database: ''. Query: 'CREATE INDEX `my_index`  ON `myDatabase`.`my_table` (column1, column2) COMMENT '' ALGORITHM DEFAULT LOCK DEFAULT'

For whatever reason this MySQL server didn't have the time zone information. You can add the time zone information like this:

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root -p mysql

Here is a reference to this on stack exchange:
