Already did....in fact, ntpdate has been running on my system for months. There is a kernel problem, IIRC, with the RTC code on Alpha. It's getting fixed upstream, but it prevents ntpdate/ntpd from working properly. Actually, I'm kinda anxious to see the archive reject the debs like that. Unfortunately, I don't check my system time often enough, so this would give me a good idea when I'm uploading a load of debs that are broken like that. C
