Title:
  fixrtc fails due to bad format of input to the date command

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The fixrtc script is failing with message:

  date: invalid date '          Wed Apr  1 17:23:44 2020'

  when calling the date command. It looks like it does not like the
  leading spaces for the input date. The date is taken from 'dumpe2fs
  -h' ouptput, and some clean-up on it happens, but it looks like it is
  not enough for BusyBox' date command, at least for the version in
  focal.
