Package: util-linux Version: 2.13~rc3-7 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I have a dual boot with Windows Vista, so I need the option HWCLOCKPARS="--directisa" in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh. Everytime util-linux is upgraded, it asks me to replace this file. As there are more differences (not only this line), I choose to replace, but then I have to put "--directisa" by hand (in sid updates come lots of times and editing /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh so often is annoying). Why not replace /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh by the new one, *but* respecting the option "--directisa" if already existing? By the way, the Debian forums are full of posts about clock showing wrong time. Why not a dialog to inform users about the option "--directisa" and make them choose? --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-1-686 Debian Release: lenny/sid 990 unstable www.debian-multimedia.org 990 unstable ftp.uk.debian.org 500 stable dl.google.com 500 experimental www.debian-multimedia.org 1 experimental ftp.uk.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =========================-+-============= lsb-base (>= 3.0-6) | 3.1-24 tzdata (>= 2006c-2) | 2007f-12
