Missing time zone data
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/view-pg-timezone-names.html
Description:
pg_timezone_names supposedly has the list of full time zone names (e.g.,
US/Eastern) used in Postgresql, but all it has is the list of columns for
the list. The list itself appears to be missing.

Hm, works for me:
regression=# select * from pg_timezone_names;
name | abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst
----------------------------------------+--------+------------+--------
Africa/Accra | GMT | 00:00:00 | f
Africa/Algiers | CET | 01:00:00 | f
Africa/Bissau | GMT | 00:00:00 | f
Africa/Casablanca | +01 | 01:00:00 | t
... etc etc ...
W-SU | MSK | 03:00:00 | f
Poland | CET | 01:00:00 | f
Kwajalein | +12 | 12:00:00 | f
NZ-CHAT | +1345 | 13:45:00 | t

My guess is you've got an installation problem that prevents PG
from finding the tzdb file tree. But it's hard to debug that
on the strength of no information about the server configuration.
In any case, I don't think this is a documentation issue ...
