Package: adjtimex Version: 1.28-1 Severity: grave I have the same problem on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid, still under testing). This error makes this package unusable.
It looks like that "Correctly apply +-500 ppm sanity check" applied for version 1.28 is causing problems. Also, bug #559882 ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=559882 ) seems to be a duplicate of this one. I have the same problem: $ sudo aptitude install adjtimex Reading package lists...
