[Bug 1973469] [NEW] Lubuntu Kinetic installation crashes near the end on a system with a badly outdated clock

 

Public bug reported:

Test hardware is on an HP Elitebook 8570p, 16 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD.

My Elitebook has a hardware problem that requires that I detach the CMOS
battery and leave it that way in order for the system to function.
Additionally, if I shut the system down, I have to leave it unplugged
and with the battery removed, otherwise it won't boot when I go to turn
it on next. (I think a thunderstorm fried a capacitor that had something
to do with the CMOS, but anyway, weird as it may sound, that's the
problem with my computer.)

As a result, when I power my Elitebook on, it thinks that it's some time
in the year 2000, which is about 22 years off.

In addition, my Elitebook uses a Broadcom wireless chip, meaning that I
have to connect to the Internet via Ethernet in order to install the
driver for it. Since getting an Ethernet connection in my house is not
so easy, I chose to simply perform the installation offline.

At the very end of the installation, the installation failed, and I
received the following error message:

    External command finished with errors.

    Command apt-get update finished with exit code 100.
    Output:

The tar errors lead me to believe that this is a result of the out-of-
date clock on my system. Furthermore, after connecting to the Internet
to install the Broadcom drivers in the live environment and make the bug
report, my clock is up-to-date, and I was able to install the system
thereafter.
