[Bug 1870316] Re: 'sudo hwclock -s' fails with 'settimeofday() failed: Invalid argument'

[Mauricio Faria de Oliveira]

The patched package built correctly on all architectures on PPA [1].

And now 'hwclock -s' works again.

$ dpkg -s util-linux libc6 | grep ^Version:
Version: 2.34-0.1ubuntu9
Version: 2.31-0ubuntu6

$ sudo hwclock -s
$ echo $?
0

Attaching debdiff, and asking for sponsorship.

Title:
  'sudo hwclock -s' fails with 'settimeofday() failed: Invalid argument'

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in util-linux package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  In Focal VM.
  util-linux: 2.34-0.1ubuntu8

  $ sudo hwclock -s
  [sudo] password for focal: 
  hwclock: settimeofday() failed: Invalid argument

  Result should be syncing the time to the RTC, which until recently
  (possibly before glibc update) worked.
