Description Brian Lane 2019-10-29 21:43:10 UTC

Description of problem:

Anaconda is running 'hwclock --hctosys' when called using anaconda --image=... mode, this unexpectedly adjusts the host's time and depending on the kickstart timezone setting can cause the time to jump a large amount (eg. using --localtime on a --utc based hwclock).

This may be the root cause of some problems observed in bug #1670032
