obsolete init script hwclock.sh after upstart migration

[Michael Biebl]

Binary package hint: util-linux

util-linux ships native upstart jobs.

After the upgrade the sysv init script
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh and the symlinks
/etc/rc0.d/K25hwclock.sh /etc/rc6.d/K25hwclock.sh
are not removed.

hwclock.sh is marked as obsolete:
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh 2e480c2fbb71772346116db514831114 obsolete

The package also still ships the directory
/lib/udev/rules.d
which is no longer required as the udev rules file has been removed/replaced.

I'm not sure why this init script is obsolete, it shouldn't be - it's still used on shutdown

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Actually it's not used on shutdown, I replace it with an Upstart job there too, so this does need to be cleaned up

This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.16-1ubuntu4

---------------
util-linux (2.16-1ubuntu4) karmic; urgency=low

  * Removed access checks for hardware clock when called with --systz,
    since we may not have the rtc device at the point we run hwclock.
    I believe this is the cause of LP: #436076.
  * Set kernel timezone even when the hardware clock is in UTC.
    LP: #426886.

  * Don't step the system clock, or save the hardware clock on upgrades
    in case the time isn't quite correct. LP: #430878.
  * Remove the hwclock.sh and hwclockfirst.sh scripts on upgrades, since
    these are now Upstart jobs. LP: #434767.
