Package: linuxptp Version: 1.8-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
a default installation of debian stretch will not use eth0 as ethernet device name anymore, also see [1]. using this as commandline argument when starting this service is troublesome, as it can`t be undone. The documention claims you can use an empty port section, to override the but I am not sure how this should be done, as that will just result in an error. I had to edit the systemd unit file to get the service starting. I would recommend removing the argument, and add a section for the device in the configuration file. can be a placeholder like [eth0], I would not know of a good default name that would fit most systems.
