linux-utils: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh: file does not exist

When installing software on Ubuntu on a Xen Virtual Server I encountered this error:

update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh: file does not exist
dpkg: error processing util-linux (–configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
util-linux
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
Setting up util-linux (2.12r-17ubuntu2.1) …
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh: file does not exist
dpkg: error processing util-linux (–configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
util-linux

To fix this I did the following:

# touch /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh
