Right, the reason for the confusion is that /etc/adjtime _was_ present after base installation in Lenny. but isn't for Squeeze. The util-linux changelog does not list that change. And as the default value was UTC in that file, that immediately explains the reported behavior (with Lenny images). It also explains why I see the exact *opposite* error with daily built images: UTC going wrong. Reason for that is that hwclock will assume localtime as default if /etc/adjtime is missing (which is a rather weird default for a Linux utility, but whatever). Anyway, with my changes it no longer matters if the file is there or not, clock-setup should just always do the right thing now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
