Package: util-linux Version: 2.16.2-0 /lib/udev/rules.d/85-hwclock.rules attempts to adjust the system clock when /dev/rtc0 becomes available. However, it uses --systz rather than --hctosys, which means that instead of reading the RTC it just assumes that the system clock is the correct UTC time and adjusts it based on /etc/localtime. This works fine on boot on recent 2.6 kernels, but if "udevadm trigger" is called (or /dev/rtc0 is re-announced for some other reason), it screws things up.
