Description Hendrik v. Raven 2015-04-10 08:53:35 UTC 
Currently fcron (3.1.2-r2) has a "need clock" in it's init.d-script, starting hwclock even if it's disabled on purpose (VM with given clock from hypervisor).

Please change that dependency to a "use clock". In that way it is handled by dcron and syslog-ng.
