I was going to bring this up yesterday, just couldn't rope the words
in together. With debootstrap, one step the user manually does is
this:
+++ QUOTE k/t https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/amd64/apds03.en.html +++
D.3.4.3. Setting Timezone
Setting the third line of the file /etc/adjtime to “UTC” or “LOCAL”
determines whether the system will interpret the hardware clock as
being set to UTC respective local time. The following command allows
you to set that.
# editor /etc/adjtime
Here is a sample:
0.0 0 0.0
0
UTC
The following command allows you to choose your timezone.
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
+++ END QUOTE +++
Mine currently reflects the above months after it was entered. A
similar topic came up a while back while I was using a different
debootstrap'ed copy. For that one particular instance, all those
zeroes had changed to something else that made no sense to me but
surely meant something to the computer.
I don't know how that one change occurred unless I forgot the above
step during that particular debootstrap, and then maybe the system
filled in what it thought it needed. However that change occurred, it
worked at the time because there was no notable difference in how time
was presented. ? :)
