Bug description:
  run-parts is failing on 98-fsck-at-reboot, presumably due to rust-
  coreutils not supporting the arguments to `date`.

  this failure can be seen in the motd:

  date: invalid date 'now - X seconds'
  run-parts: /etc/update-motd.d/98-fsck-at-reboot exited with return code 1

  where X is a floating point number.
