Control: reassign -1 rdate 1:1.2-5 Control: tag -1 d-i Hi Riku, Riku Saikkonen <rjs@netti.fi> (02/03/2013): > Package: debian-installer > Version: 20130211 > > (I hope the version is correct - I don't know how to find it from the > installer.

There's an rdate implementation in busybox, but we seem to be using rdate-udeb. I'm therefore reassigning this bug report to that package, which probably should behave properly (defaulting to 37). I should note there's already this patch there, which seems quite relevant: debian/patches/04-434452-avoid-libnss-files-library.patch Mraw, KiBi.
