Package: linux-image-4.19.0-5-cloud-amd64 Version: 4.19.37-5 Dear maintainer:
On a virtual machine running buster on Google Compute Engine, where this kernel package is the default, I get the following messages: google_clock_skew_daemon[1539]: hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. google_clock_skew_daemon[1539]: hwclock: Use the --verbose option to see the details of our search for an access method. Apparently this kernel does not have /dev/rtc and that's the reason for the error message. Installing linux-image-4.19.0-5-amd64 makes the error message to go away. I infer that the -cloud images should perhaps include the /dev/rtc device(s) for those images to really be a drop-in replacement for the "full" images in cloud environments. [ Not using any severity here, but I would expect this to be fixed in a point release of buster, please upgrade to important if required ]. Thanks.
