Bug Description

This concerns rsyslog 5.8.1-1ubuntu2 in Ubuntu Oneiric.

I'm looking at /var/log/syslog on this system, and the file contains entries that are chronologically out of order. The timestamps seem to leap forward by five hours, then back by five hours, with no hint as to why. (Note that I am in the EST time zone, a.k.a. GMT-0500, so that may have something to do with it.)

A copy of my /var/log/syslog file is attached.

I don't know where else to file this bug, so here it goes.

I am also seeing this on my Oneiric install. This also appear to only affect rtkit-daemon which happen to be chroot'ed to /proc.
This (cosmetic) bug is probably due to the fact that /etc/localtime is not available in the chroot jail.
