Comment 5 for bug 426886

This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.16-1ubuntu4

---------------
util-linux (2.16-1ubuntu4) karmic; urgency=low

  * Removed access checks for hardware clock when called with --systz,
    since we may not have the rtc device at the point we run hwclock.
    I believe this is the cause of LP: #436076.
  * Set kernel timezone even when the hardware clock is in UTC.
    LP: #426886.

  * Don't step the system clock, or save the hardware clock on upgrades
    in case the time isn't quite correct. LP: #430878.
  * Remove the hwclock.sh and hwclockfirst.sh scripts on upgrades, since
    these are now Upstart jobs. LP: #434767.
