Package: ntpdate Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-5 Severity: normal /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate first checks for /lib/udev/hotplug.functions and performs a "wait_for_file /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian".
Only after this does it check if /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian is in fact present. The consequence is that if ntpdate is removed (for instance, because ntp is installed), then when an interface is brought up, the following inappropriate warning message eventually comes up: /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian did not appear before the timeout! Remember that /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate is a conffile and so is left in place if the package is removed without purging. Therefore existence of ntpdate-debian should be tested before trying to wait for it! -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ntpdate depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-8 SSL shared libraries ii netbase 4.32 Basic TCP/IP networking system Versions of packages ntpdate recommends: pn lockfile-progs <none> (no description available) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
