Changelog
util-linux (2.36.1-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* bsdextrautils: Install colcrt (Closes: #977871)
* hwclock.sh: remove obsolete startup code.
Let the on startup code always be handled by the udev rule we install.
On any normal system, systemd or sysvinit, "hwclock.sh start" was a
no-op for the last few Debian releases already. Also, with initramfs,
hwclock.sh never got executed *before* fsck for root.
If your system does not have udev but has an RTC in localtime or one
needing drift adjustments, you will need to handle this yourself.
* hwclock: remove all broken settings.
Since buster, BADYEAR was broken, because upstream removed the code in
v2.30-rc1.
Since buster, the alpha cmos support was broken, because upstream
removed the code.
Since stretch, HWCLOCKACCESS=no was broken on udev systems, because the
helper ignored it.
Remove all those settings; also remove HCTOSYS_DEVICE from the
default-shipped /etc/default/hwclock, as changing it is extremely
difficult to get right.
* hwclock.sh: add comments when to use this init script
* Update advice on ALWAYS_SET_PATH to use /etc/default/su (Closes: #905564)
* Remove Suggests: console-tools. Gone since 2013.
