Package: ntpdate Version: 1:4.2.0a+stable-2sarge1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
ntpdate automatically and _unconditionally_ synchronizes time during the installation of the package. This obviously might break some software which hardly depends on timing. In particular, a proprietary fax server simply crashed after the time stepping. Besides that I could imagine SIP registrar software to process currently registered users incorrectly in case of crudely changed time. At least a user should be asked whether to synchronize time during the installation or not. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=KOI8-R) (ignored: LC_ALL set to ru_RU.KOI8-R) Versions of packages ntpdate depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ntpdate recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
