[Bug 1791331] [NEW] [Bionic] Hardware clock cannot be set to local time - "timedatectl set-local-rtc 1" no longer works

[Prahlad Yeri]

Public bug reported:

Until the last release (16.04 LTS), I was able to set the hardware clock
to local time using the below command:

timedatectl set-local-rtc 1

But since Bionic, this feature no longer works. Above command doesn't
have any effect at all after reboots.
