Has that changed?
Hello, As for timex.h missing that's still so, but as I wrote IPV6 is supported now. And ntpdate/ntpdate-debian works perfectly. For now we, at least me, don't have any need for ntpd, ntpdate/ntpdate-debian is sufficient. The ntpd daemon builds fine, but does not start, so no harm is done installing that package instead of ntpdate (ntpdate is provided by both packages). Thanks!
