Package: adjtimex
Version: 1.29-3
Severity: normal
The postinst script for the adjtimex package insists on running
adjtimex to perform some clock adjustment. This is silly. At the time
the package is installed or upgraded, the system is already running,
quite likely with the clock already well regulated (especially if this
was an upgrade). In my case, I'm regulating the clock with ntpd, so
adjtimex should never be automatically run outside the boot sequence.
The postinst script should not be performing any clock adjustment.
It seems that, as with ntpdate in Bug#714997, the package is conflating
the desire to install a tool with the desire to use it in a particular
way. adjtimex is useful for much more than just the automatic adjustment
that the postinst script contemplates. I use it mainly in read-only
mode to watch what in fine detail what ntpd and the kernel are doing
with the clock.

Description:
adjtimex - kernel time variables configuration utility
Closes: 688933 724929 785208
Changes:
adjtimex (1.29-7) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* remove the wrong debian/dirs line in changelog of previous version 1.29-6
* debian/patches:
- Replace patch 03 with the one by Bjarni I. Gislason, which also
minimizes the time of lock over "/dev/rtc" (Closes: #724929).
- Fix potential uninitialized memory accessing
(thanks peppe <[email protected]>, Closes: #688933).
- Avoid a few gcc warnings
* debian/copyright: Add copyright for newly added patch
* debian/adjtimexconfig:
- Move tmp file during executing from /etc to /tmp.
- Code clean up.
* debian/templates + debian/config + debian/po + debian/NEWS:
- Remove the debconf whether to start adjtimex on startup, which now
depends on the existence of /etc/default/adjtimex file. By default,
there's no /etc/default/adjtimex, which is generated by running:
adjtimexconfig.
- adjtimexconfig is still a choice in defconf, but change to false by
default because it takes 70 seconds to excute on install/upgrade.
* debian/postinst:
- Refrain from running adjtimexconfig on configure, which is triggered by
each install/upgrade
- Refrain from starting adjtimex service on configure (Closes: #785208).
- Code clean up.
* debian/postrm:
- Code clean up.
* debian/adjtimex.init + debian/adjtimex.service: Start adjtimex service
on startup only if config file /etc/default/adjtimex is ready.
* debian/adjtimexconfig.8: Update man page
