Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 17.04 I noticed a variation between system time and hardware
time.
I ran hwclock to sync them and got:
hwclock: Warning: unrecognized third line in adjtime file
(Expected: `UTC' or `LOCAL' or nothing.)
my system is running
util-linux:
Installed: 2.29-1ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.29-1ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 2.29-1ubuntu2 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I looked in /etc/adjtime; it does have 'UTC' on the third line...
There is a similar report and proposed solution at:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706693
This reporter believed that the problem was a missing newline on the end
of the third line.
-There is no newline after 'UTC' in /etc/adjtime on my system.
-Manually adding a newline does make the warning not appear when invoking
hwclock, as suggested by the above report.
-However, the proposed solution (adding a final \n to the printf line in
hwclock.sh) is already present in my /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh.
