Subject: /sbin/hwclock: Hwclock interperates saved local time as GMT Package: util-linux Version: 2.15.1~rc1-1 File: /sbin/hwclock Severity: important
I am using localtime on my system, set in /etc/rcS and elsewhere. Latest and greatest from Sid consistantly reads the saved hw time as GMT. This then gets translated to localtime which is now incorrect. Ntpdate will reset to the correct localtime. The resulting shift interferes with dovecot requiring two restarts of dovecot before imap3d will work. Since this has not been reported elsewhere (that I have seen), the problem could be related to the fact that I live east of Greenwich so my localtime is later. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (650, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-davidb (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii libc6 2.9-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20090523-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libselinux1 2.0.81-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libslang2 2.1.4-3 The S-Lang programming library - r ii libuuid1 1.41.6-1 Universally Unique ID library ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii tzdata 2009i-1 time zone and daylight-saving time ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-13 compression library - runtime util-linux recommends no packages.
