My clock appers to run right (date shows correct TZ and local time) , but I get: tar: ./postinst: time stamp 2001-09-04 20:53:08 is 81768 s in the future tar: ./prerm: time stamp 2001-09-04 20:53:09 is 81769 s in the future tar: ./md5sums: time stamp 2001-09-04 20:53:14 is 81774 s in the future tar: ./control: time stamp 2001-09-04 20:53:13 is 81773 s in the future It works fine, but I just thought I'd point that out (v. 1.0-3 BTW) > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-request@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
