Package: rsyslog Version: 8.1908.0-1 Severity: normal
If a system's timezone is updated, rsyslog doesn't find out about it. Arguably, this only applies to travelling laptops, but rsyslog is the default Debian logger on this, which is why I think this is worthwhile to think about.
Many other tools automatically adjust on timezone changes, whether that is through inotify on /etc/localtime, not caching the timezone in the first place, or some other mechanism provided by the OS.
Please consider something similar for rsyslog. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_NZ:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages rsyslog depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.57 ii libc6 2.29-1 ii libestr0 0.1.10-2.1+b1 ii libfastjson4 0.99.8-2 ii liblognorm5 2.0.5-1+b1 ii libsystemd0 242-5 ii libuuid1 2.34-0.1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1+b1 Versions of packages rsyslog recommends: ii logrotate 3.15.1-1 Versions of packages rsyslog suggests: pn rsyslog-doc <none> pn rsyslog-gssapi <none> pn rsyslog-mongodb <none> pn rsyslog-mysql | rsyslog-pgsql <none> pn rsyslog-openssl | rsyslog-gnutls <none> pn rsyslog-relp <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/rsyslog.conf changed [not included] -- debconf-show failed -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
