[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#659937: initscripts: Wheezy on Dual boot configuration shows wrong time

[David]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-22
Severity: normal

Normally in Dual Boot installation with Debian Linux and Windows, the 
clock is set on local time.
Linux then adds some, for example one hour if user is in timezone of 
Berlin, which is - in winter - GMT plus one hour.

This does not work. At the Gnome desktop, as well as on the console, at 
7 o'clock it shows 8 o'clock.

Changing UTC=yes to UTC=no in files
/etc/default/rcS and /usr/share/initscripts/default.rcS
and then rebooting has no effect.

Bug may be in package initscripts or another package, I did not find out 
in which.

Installation has not been through new installation but through 
dist-upgrade from squeeze to wheezy.
