[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#585537: Calculated time for running scripts in rcS is wrong

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

reassign 584862 sysv-rc
retitle 584862 sysv-rc: duration calculations do not handle time zone adjustments
retitle 585537 sysv-rc: duration calculations do not handle time zone adjustments
forcemerge 584862 585537
thanks

Yeah, probably.  The same was reported in #584862.  I am open for
suggestions on how to get this calculation more robust.  If we can't
make it more robust, it might be better to just remove it.

Happy hacking,
