[SOLVED] Time do not show correctly on Devuan Excalibur

I installed Devuan Excalibur and the time dont show correctly in Middle East.
I tried to run "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" but nothing changed.
I also have another machine with Devuan Daedalus on it, but there time is shown correctly.
Any ideas what to do?

I don't _think_ this can be your problem because you have reconfigured the timezone based on the files you _do_ have, but one differnce between Daedalus and Excalibur is that a lot of non-canonical timezone forms were - with doubtful justification - split off into a new package, tzdata-legacy. More likely to affect people upgrading I should think, but might be worth installing it anyway.

Installation of tzdata-legacy didn't solved the problem but i figured it out.

Installed hwclock with

sudo apt install util-linux-extra

Set date manually with

sudo hwclock --set --date="YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"

Then synced system time with hwclock with

sudo hwclock -s
