Bug#801525: systemd: incorrect boot timestamps in wtmp, last reports negative duration

[René Wagner]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-17+deb8u2
Severity: normal

Dear maintainers,

I'm not perfectly sure which package generates the "reboot" entries in
wtmp. I believe in jessie to which I recently upgraded this is systemd,
but please rassign this if that is not the case.

Since the upgrade to jessie the boot time reported by "last" is off by
two hours, e.g., in the following entry it should have been 21:36. The
shutdown time is correct.

reboot   system boot  3.16.0-4-amd64   Sat Oct 10 23:36 - 22:32  (-1:-4)

Perhaps this is caused by a confusion of local time vs. UTC? CEST is at
UTC+2.

$ cat /etc/timezone
Europe/Berlin

$ tail -n1 /etc/adjtime
LOCAL

Cheers,

Rene
