On the other hand I find it impossible that neither a reference to the deletion of ntp in the changelog is present nor in the NEWS. I have absolutely nothing against that virtualbox-guest-utils use its own time synchronization, but system-wide only if no other time server runs. It is also incomprehensible for users to install virtualbox-guest-utils as a time server. Therefore, I reopen the bug again. > > see #873263 if you want more background on the issue > > I think I won't remove that conflict for now, unless you have some good > explanation for me :) > > G. > CU Jörg -- New: GPG Fingerprint: 63E0 075F C8D4 3ABB 35AB 30EE 09F8 9F3C 8CA1 D25D GPG key (long) : 09F89F3C8CA1D25D GPG Key : 8CA1D25D CAcert Key S/N : 0E:D4:56 Old pgp Key: BE581B6E (revoked since 2014-12-31).
