** Description changed: The fixrtc script is failing with message: date: invalid date ' Wed Apr 1 17:23:44 2020' when calling the date command. It looks like it does not like the leading spaces for the input date. The date is taken from 'dumpe2fs -h' ouptput, and some clean-up on it happens, but it looks like it is not enough for BusyBox' date command, at least for the version in focal. + + [Impact] + + The system date shown on first boot is incorrect, which can be + problematic on first boot if at that point in time there is no network + connection. If fixrtc works correctly at least we get the date of the + last time the rootfs was mounted, which is modern enough to avoid + problems with snap assertions validation, etc. + + [Test case] + + Boot an image with fixrtc in the kernel command line in a system with no + network. snap seeding will fail without the patch. + + [Regression Potential] + + Quite small, as the fix is small and targeted.
