Bug#264314: hwclock time incorrectly substituted in tzsetup
Package: base-config
Version: 2.40
Severity: normal
Hello,
While testing the d-i RC1 I've noticed that during the configuration of
base system (after reboot) the current time was not correctly substituted
into the template of the question about the hardware clock being set to
GMT. In my case the line was displayed as:
The hardware clock says the time is now Sun Aug.
I was able to trace the problem to the tzsetup in base-config. The
following patch fixes the substition, so the string shows the complete
time:
