Any workaround for that? Can it be related to some updates performed? It is very annoying to set the date every reboot.

The Nokia tool (/mnt/initfs/usr/bin/retutime --rtc-from-system) doesn't work from debian.

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks to apple2 who pointed me to the answer. Edit /etc/default/rcS and put TMPTIME=-1 instead of TMPTIME=0.
