There are ways to find it out. If you like, I'll do up and test a
sample.
Please.
Will do. I hope to get back to you in a couple of days(*).
If so, would it be desirable to have them officially conflict?
No.
Forgive me my ignorance. I'm not an expert on the details of the apt
dependency process. Can you educate me as to why it's not a good
idea?
Well, they don't actually conflict. They are just usually not used
together.
In particular, considering that in sarge, they usually *are* used
together,
it would probably upset quite a few people if we turned this around
during
the upgrade.
If may make sense to drop the -u option from the default ntpdate
options, so
ntpdate doesn't run when ntpd is running. Do you want to try that
out?
(see /etc/default/ntpdate)
Happy to. Once again, give me a day or so to experiment.
(*) The main server for our house fried a disk this morning. I'm
still dealing with the details that remain after getting it back in
working order with a new disk. So it may take me a bit of time to
get to do the experiments. But I *will* do it.
I noticed that the new ntp/ntpdate packages made it into etch
yesterday. That will make the experiments a bit easier. I don't
normally run sid systems, which is why looking at the ntp* packages
in sid didn't occur to me first think.
Enjoy!
Rick
