@Original poster: In order to solve this completely, or at least try to solve it, check your BIOS settings for spread spectrum and disable it. More info: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557949#30
@Maintainer: I believe that this bug is due to another bug found in 1.28 version, it installs a bad version of /etc/default/adjtimex : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=559882 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557949 I think it needs a postinst check for versions, something like this: [...] case "$1" in configure) # Affects versions greater or equal than 1.28-1, less than 1.29-2 # Using rm since the conf file contents are already corrupt if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" ge 1.28-1 && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 1.29-2 ; then rm -f "$conffile" fi [...] (*NOT* thoroughly tested, but I think it's sh-compatible) Cheers! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
