Package: util-linux Version: 2.16-3 Severity: normal The hwclock command fails on my system w/o the --directisa option. What it produces is:
hwclock: Open of /dev/rtc failed, errno=2: No such file or directory. Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.16 No usable clock interface found. As a result the clock cannot be set nor saved. And since I use localtime, not UTC, the system thinks the localtime is UTC time and the true localtime 5 hours earlier. When you boot with that fsck fails on all fs because the superblock time is five hours in the future. Severity is the highest really because you don't have a system anymore, But with 439 bugs in package util-linux, who wants to quibble. To fix it I ran dpkg -i util-linux_2.13.1.1-1_i386.deb and that replaced hwclock with a version that does not need the --directisa option. Except that it changed more things than hwclock. But produced a running system again.
