>From a discussion on IRC: <Maulkin> Q_: Issue occurs when it's started with /etc/init.d/ntp-server, rather than /etc/init.d/ntp. Oddly, /etc/init.d/ntp-server wasn't ever disabled. <Q_> ntp-server is from a removed package ... <Manoj> but since the binary name remained the same, it never disables itself <Maulkin> Yes, but still linked in and starting at boot time <Maulkin> Prehaps a note in NEWS.Debian may suffice I think the problem is that the files are owned by ntp:ntp, it's started as root (with the one from ntp-server), it drops capabilities and then gets a permission denied.
