Package: base-config Version: 2.35 Severity: normal Tags: patch In some locales, the "cut -d ' ' -f 1-6" that tzsetup does to remove drift information doesn't work properly, because ctime() output in those locales doesn't contain the same number of spaces. This is quite noticeable in ja_JP.UTF-8, for instance.
Using "sed 's/ .*//'" instead works better, since ctime() output doesn't seem to contain a double space in any locale I can see while hwclock always outputs the double space. The following patch fixes this: http://www.no-name-yet.com/patches/base-config.hwclock-cut.diff I've also filed bug #260272 asking for a proper option to hwclock so that this hack can be removed.
