This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.25.1-3ubuntu1
---------------
util-linux (2.25.1-3ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium
* Merge with Debian unstable to get some packaging bug fixes.
Remaining Ubuntu changes:
- Regularly trim SSDs automatically (core-1311-ssd-trimming):
+ Add debian/fstrim-all.cron: Call fstrim --all. Installed as
/etc/cron.weekly/fstrim.
- Upstart support:
+ Add hwclock{-save}.upstart, and install them in debian/rules.
+ Drop debian/hwclock.rules and hwclock.default.
- Add mountall-options.patch, see patch header.
- Add debian/libblkid1.maintscript to clean up /etc/blkid.conf on upgrade.
This needs to be kept until after Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
* Revert move to unified libsystemd-dev, we still have an older systemd in
Ubuntu. This will be done in Ubuntu 15.04.
util-linux (2.25.1-3) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Ben Hutchings ]
* hwclock-set: Don't use 'touch' to create stamp file, as it may not be
included in an initramfs (Really closes: #763823)
[ Andreas Henriksson ]
* Put uuid-runtime in Section utils.
Thanks to Ben Finney for the suggestion (Closes: #764039)
* Cherry-pick upstream commit 8026fa9bc752
"build-sys: use -lutil for BSD only"
debian/patches/build-sys-use-lutil-for-BSD-only.patch
* Upload to unstable.
util-linux (2.25.1-2) experimental; urgency=medium
[ Andreas Henriksson ]
* Make libmount-dev depend on libblkid-dev (LP: #1096581)
* Drop uuid-dev dependency in libmount-dev package
* Drop explicit disabling of pivot_root on non-linux
* Attempt to stop uuidd before usermod in postinst (LP: #1374648)
* Change build-dep to new unified libsystemd-dev (Closes: #763808)
[ Ben Hutchings ]
* hwclock-set: Use stamp file in /run/udev to ensure we set the clock
only once if installed in the initramfs (Closes: #763823)
