Bug#680498: chrony postinst fails to recognize UTC hardware clock

[Johan Haggi]

Package: chrony
Version: 1.24-3.1
Severity: normal

I have my HW clock on UTC, but chronyc assume local time

After a new installation of chronyc, I have this /etc/chrony/chrony.conf

[...]
# If the last line of this file reads 'rtconutc' chrony will assume that
# the CMOS clock is on UTC (GMT). If it reads '# rtconutc' or is absent
# chrony will assume local time. The line (if any) was written by the
# chrony postinst based on what it found in /etc/default/rcS. You may
# change it if necessary.
# rtconutc

My /etc/default/rcS

[...]
#UTC=yes # OBSOLETE; see /etc/adjtime and hwclock(8).
[...]

My /etc/adjtime

-0.063198 1341555445 0.000000
1341555445
UTC

I find who modified /etc/default/rcS:
from /var/lib/dpkg/info/util-linux.postinst (util-linux 2.20.1-5.1):

# Do a one-time migration of the local time setting to /etc/adjtime
if [ -n "$2" ] && dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "2.20.1-5"; then
[...]
if [ -f /etc/default/rcS ]; then
sed -i -e 's:^\(UTC=.*\)$:#\1 # OBSOLETE; see /etc/adjtime and hwclock(8).:' /etc/default/rcS
