Hi,

Just did a giant Sid dist-upgrade. It caused trouble with the clock.

The hwclock is kept at local time. And 'hwclock --debug --directisa' says just that.

But now when the system boots it thinks that the time is UTC time and so for the local time it subtracts 5 hours.

That causes e2fsck to fail on all partitions in /etc/fstab because the time in their superblocks is 5 hours ahead of what it thinks the local time is.

date gives the true local time -5 hours
date -u gives the true local time

/etc/timezone has SystemV/CST6CDT

So my question is: who at boot time is responsible for realizing that the hwclock is kept in local time and UTC time?
