Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7 Severity: important
The ntpdate package contains a script /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate which is executed whenever a network interface is brought up. During normal startup, before this script finishes, /etc/rc*.d/S23ntpd is called. ntpd is started, fails to bind to port 123 (because ntpdate is still running) and immediately exits. /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate and /etc/init.d/ntpd try to use a lock file to prevent this - but this works only if lockfile-progs is installed, which wasn't the case on my system. I suggest that lockfile-progs is added to the dependencies of both ntpd and ntpdate. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libedit2 2.11~20080614-1 BSD editline and history libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080830-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-13 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system Versions of packages ntp recommends: ii perl 5.10.0-15 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages ntp suggests: pn ntp-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
