sys-apps/util-linux-2.25.2-r2 >>> sys-apps/util-linux-2.26.2 Breaks system date/time, substantially in one case. /etc/conf.d/hwclock has clock="local", clock_systohc="NO", and clock_hctosys="YES" What's consistent about these systems is they are dual boot with Windows and that clock is set to "local". The x86 system has not been booted into Windows in some time. The system time on the x86 laptop migrated forward a day. The settings are same on a newer amd64 system. There Windows is used occasionally, system time was noticed after boot to being into... February 2016. hwclock --debug shows rtc is fine, established in /dev and correct time/date. The problem begins with util-linux-2.26.2 upgrade when openrc is calling hwclock --systz --adjust --hctosys --localtime. Resolution by downgrading to util-linux-2.25.2-r2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge sys-apps/util-linux-2.26.2 2. 3. Actual Results: Incorrect system date and time. Expected Results: Correct system date and time as in <=util-linux-2.25.2-r2 $ emerge --info sys-apps/util-linux Portage 2.2.20.1 (python 2.7.10-final-0, default/linux/x86/13.0/desktop, gcc-4.8.4,

This is probably due to a bad value in /etc/adjtime, combined with a change in hwclock behavior. Can you provide the /etc/adjtime file from your affected systems? Util-linux 2.26 Release Notes ============================= The command hwclock(8) uses the drift correction for all relevant operations and it is unnecessary to specify --adjust on the hwclock command line now. The command hwclock(8) does not automatically (re)calculate the drift factor on --systohc to avoid several problems (ntpd with '11 minute mode', for example), but the new command-line option --update-drift has to be explicitly used to force hwclock(8) to update /etc/adjtime. For more details see the hwclock(8) man page.
Thanks, I see that now after grepping through the various 2.26.* release files. I see a reference after the fact in the man page as well. I noticed a flag var $clock_adjfile in /etc/init.d/hwclock that isn't referenced in my copy of /etc/conf.d/hwclock, so I just renamed the default /etc/adjtime after a re-emerge of sys-apps/util-linux-2.26.2 and a reboot. Time and date seem fine after that. Maybe a slight adjustment to /etc/conf.d/hwclock in openrc to indicate? Or maybe just a postinst note for sys-apps/util-linux. Here's the prior Dec 22 2012 /etc/adjtime from the amd64 system: 9679.784197 1356224253 0.000000 1356224253 UTC
