A superficial attempt on exodar.debian.net isn't particularly encouraging: leepen@exodar:~$ /sbin/hwclock --test hwclock from util-linux 2.39.2 System Time: 1701863851.810595 No usable clock interface found. hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. I suggest we wait for a response from the Hurd experts. But maybe util-linux-extra should be arch:linux-any? Mark
