Hi, I'm the maintainer of base-config, which seems to be were the bug lies, and I urgently need some more info since we're quickly approaching a freeze.
> "15TZconfig exited with return value 1" What version of base-config do you have installed? You can switch to another virtual console and check. This bug probably comes down to some problem with hwclock and powerpc, since there have been a lot of problems in that area recently. To further track down the problem, you should probably do the following on that machine (again you can use vc #2): 1. Edit /usr/sbin/tzsetup and add 'set -x' near the top. 2. Run "tzsetup -y -g" and send me a log, or at least the last ten lines or so. This should point to what command is failing. If anyone else with a g400 would like to try reproducing this, that would probably be helpful. My guess is that this will point to one of the hwclock calls in tzsetup. Maybe '/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh start' is returning a nonzero exit code on ppc, or something? Can anyone verify this? I confess that I don't understand why this bug, whatever it is, is seemingly causing base-config to fail/stall. base-config, after it trints out the message above, is supposed to recover gracefully and continue on with the rest of its tasks. I don't see any obvious bugs that would make it fail to do that. -- see shy jo
