Package: chrony Version: 1.24-3.1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hello, there are quite a few packages (kerberos in my case) which are dependant on a relatively exact time. I actually could not log in to my freshly installed kerberized wheezy system due to a mayor clock skew produced by a malfunctioning chrony daemon. The Version of chrony currently supplied with wheezy does have a runable daemon, but this daemon is unable to set the system clock at all. The reason for this are actually two bugs in debian BTS which have already been fixed in unstable, but only partially in the the Version which wheezy ended up with after the feature freeze. I'm talking about the following bugs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628919 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642209 The state of the wheezy Version is that bug #628919 has been fixed incompletely. This led to bugreport #642209 which has then been fixed in unstable only by means of using a newer upstream version. There are two possible ways to fix the version supplied with wheezy: 1. Migrate to Version 1.26-2 from sid (no unsatisfiable dependancies in wheezy) 2. Apply the simple patch supplied in bug report #642209 Regards Sven -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.6.3-00694-g9017061 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages chrony depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.8 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libncurses5 5.9-10 ii libreadline5 5.2-12 ii timelimit 1.8-1 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu3 Versions of packages chrony recommends: ii udev 175-7 chrony suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
