Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
ifup produces noise from /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate complaining about
the wait_for_file routine not being found (curiously, line 1 is
indicated).
Indeed, it is used but not defined.
A rough guess would expect it to be this routine
+ # [email protected] 18/10/08 add in missing wait_for_file()
+ wait_for_file() {
+
+ [ -e "$1" ] && return 0
+ local count=0
+ while sleep 1; do
+ let count=count+1
+ [ -e "$1" ] && return 0
+ if [ $count -gt 60 ]; then
+ return 1
+ fi
+ done
+ }
It's used lower down ...
# This is for the case that /usr will be mounted later.
if [ -r /lib/udev/hotplug.functions ]; then
. /lib/udev/hotplug.functions
wait_for_file /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
fi
etc. etc.

I'm closing this bug as there was no response and the circumstances sound
