Public bug reported: The clock miraculously jumped one hour ahead on my system overnight. Two nights ago there was the switch to summer time. This went fine, i.e. the UTC system clock was not changed and the system just added another hour to interpret it as UTC+2 (CEST). However, this morning I found that over the next night the UTC system clock was incorrectly advanced by one hour. The system was suspended, but not rebooted, there is no Windows installation/virtual machine that could mess with the clock. ntpdate -q displays the error message "no servers can be used, exiting", but this cannot explain why the clock jumped ahead. The clock was reset correctly after I replaced ntp with chrony.
