Bug Description
The last few times I tried to update the kernel on one of my VPS, it always failed because the fixrtc hook couldn't adjust the RTC. I think the RTC is managed by the host system, so the inner (guest) system can just leave it alone. I worked around it with
chmod a-x /usr/share/
so I can update my kernel independent of RTC, but the problem seems to re-appear sometimes and by then I forgot what it was about. Could you maybe just add a check whether /dev/rtc exists, and skip fixing it if there isn't any?

I do have the same problem on a cheap VPS by a very popular german hosting company, so it probably affects lots of people. Here's my favorite remedy, simple and effective.
