Package: base-config
Version: 1.33.18
Severity: normal
I'm in the process of installing Debian 3.0r0 on another computer (not
this one) and I've had to rerun base-config a few times for various
reasons. FWIW, I'm using the stock idepci floppies.
The first time I booted the system and was put in base-config, it
displayed the hardware clock, correct local time, and asked me whether
this is GMT or not. I (truthfully) answered no, and proceeded with the
installation, indicating that my local time zone is Helsinki, Europe
(which means UTC+3 with DST).
Somewhere along the instsallation, I screwed up, so I restarted with
su -c /usr/sbin/base-config (... in fact I've screwed up multiple
times, so I have gone through base-config half a dozen times this
morning by now).
Now, it displays a hardware clock time which is three hours off, but
in the wrong direction. (11:00 when local time is 8:00) and it does
this every time I restart base-config, and even though I've changed
the "software time" with date -s.
It seems to me that this case is incorrectly implemented in base-config
-- it sets the hardware clock based on a reversed localtime offset
when the hardware clock is set to local time.
Sorry if this is already fixed in unstable or testing; I don't have
the opportunity to check.
