Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
On Hardy, /dev/rtc has mode and ownership 660 root:audio. On Intrepid it is a symlink to /dev/rtc0 which has 660 root:root.
Both systems have the same entry in 40-permissions.
KERNEL=="rtc", GROUP="audio"
Adding a similar entry for rtc0 made the ownership equal to /dev/rtc on Hardy.
This leads me to believe that either
1. /dev/rtc* should be owned by the group audio on Intrepid too, which would probably require a change in 40-permissions.
2. that the new /dev/rtc* devices should be owned by the root group, and the entry should be removed.
My instincts goes for the former as I can imagine it breaks things if /dev/rtc isn't writable to Desktop users anymore.
The installed version of udev on my Intrepid install is 124-9
In the upstream rules, this has the root group - so we'll likely go with that
