Package: adjtimex
Version: 1.28-1
Severity: important
During the installation of adjtimex package the following messages
appeared:
Comparing clocks (this will take 70 sec)...done.
awk: BEGIN{print ((to-10000)*100 + override)./65536.)*.0864}
awk: ^ syntax error
awk: BEGIN{print ((to-10000)*100 + override)./65536.)*.0864}
awk: ^ unterminated regexp
awk: cmd. line:1: BEGIN{print ((to-10000)*100 + override)./65536.)*.0864}
awk: cmd. line:1: ^
unexpected newline or end of string
Adjusting system time by sec/day to agree with CMOS clock...done.
Then /etc/default/adjtimex file looked like this:
# /etc/default/adjtimex - configuration file for adjtimex(8)
#
# you may adjust these values manually or by calling /usr/sbin/adjtimexconfig
#
# This file is sourced by /etc/init.d/adjtimex
#
TICK=to
FREQ=override).
I looked through postinst script and found that on my machine adjtimex
prints an error message:
# /sbin/adjtimex --adjust 2> /dev/null

ERROR: required correction is greater than plus/minus 500 parts

Notice that adjtimex, for some unknown reason, prints this error message
to stdout, not stderr. Apparently the postinst script takes words of this
message instead of tick/freq values and writes them to the configuration file.
