Package: uptimed Version: 1:0.3.17-4 Followup-For: Bug #654830 Yes, I noticed the same strange thing recently. It was working fine up to a few weeks (not sure exactly when it got wrong) but now the boot entry has been duplicated and this creates impossible values, as initially reported:
# Uptime | System Boot up ----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- 1 125 days, 10:06:22 | Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 Tue Apr 15 09:12:09 2014 -> 2 91 days, 13:42:27 | Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 Mon Apr 13 10:40:34 2015 3 91 days, 13:42:03 | Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 Mon Apr 13 10:40:35 2015 4 48 days, 02:02:18 | Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 Sun Feb 22 11:54:31 2015 5 47 days, 14:46:20 | Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 Wed Aug 28 20:19:25 2013 6 45 days, 08:23:39 | Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 Fri Jan 31 07:42:01 2014 7 39 days, 16:04:05 | Linux 3.14-2-amd64 Wed Aug 20 16:55:10 2014 8 37 days, 20:44:10 | Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 Tue Oct 15 18:08:57 2013 9 37 days, 14:26:56 | Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 Fri Dec 13 07:30:07 2013 10 23 days, 02:57:14 | Linux 3.14-2-amd64 Fri Oct 10 12:39:48 2014 ----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- no1 in 33 days, 20:23:56 | at Sun Aug 16 20:46:55 2015 up 764 days, 06:26:42 | since Sat Jul 6 19:29:40 2013 down -27 days, -01:-33: | since Sat Jul 6 19:29:40 2013 %up 103.671 | since Sat Jul 6 19:29:40 2013 In the above display, entries 2 and 3 really refer to the same entry but you notice that the boot up entry is shifted by 1 second whereas the uptime is shifted by more time. Could this be due to the NTP date adjustment of 2 seconds that happened a few weeks ago? All my Debian machines are exhibiting the same bug. For instance on another machine: # Uptime | System Boot up ----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- -> 1 132 days, 07:56:12 | Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae Tue Mar 3 15:26:00 2015 2 132 days, 07:51:13 | Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae Tue Mar 3 15:26:01 2015 Again, the boot up time is one second apart but the uptime is way off. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.8 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages uptimed depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libuptimed0 1:0.3.17-4 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8+deb7u1 uptimed recommends no packages. uptimed suggests no packages. -- debconf information: uptimed/maxrecords: 50 uptimed/mail/address: root@localhost uptimed/mail/do_mail: Never uptimed/interval: 600 uptimed/mail/milestones_info: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
