Package: openntpd
Version: 1:5.7p3-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
on purging openntpd in order to try chrony for a change (which also
CentOS 7 uses), I get:
merkaba:~> LANG=C apt-get purge openntpd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
openntpd
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 136 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

If this is a bug with deb-systemd-helper feel free to reassign.

Thanks Martin for your input.
Lets see if some other users experience this same behavior so we can
reproduced it then.
So far, since I'm unable to reproduce it, I presume this was attached to
a change on init-system-helpers side therefore not present anylonger.
Once again, thanks for taking the time to report this.
Cheers,
Dererk
