Mika, I'm dropping the debian/ntpdate.default part of your patch. It's correct, and I agree that all other things being equal this documentation should be brought up to date, but it's going to be very common to have modified the NTPSERVERS line that immediately follows it (or to be upgrading a system where somebody else modified that line), and changing that text would I think result in a lot of dpkg conffile prompts. I'd rather avoid that when it isn't strictly necessary. While applying this patch, I'm also going to make ntp.preinst check for an empty /etc/ntp.conf on fresh installation and remove it, to work around this system-tools-backends bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to system-tools-backends in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83604 Title: ntpdate 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1ubuntu2 has a flawed configuration file. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 83604] Re: ntpdate 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1ubuntu2 has a flawed configuration file.
Mika's patch is certainly still applicable in Natty. I think I'm going to go ahead and apply that; it seems common to have an empty /etc/ntp.conf due to this (I had one myself) and this is an easy workaround. There's a separate bug 427775 for more general logic problems with /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate, and a separate bug 583994 for replacing ntpdate altogether. I'm also going to reopen the system-tools-backends task on this bug, due to this comment in the original bug report: "it defaults to the ntp servers defined in /etc/ntp.conf, an empty file; which makes debconf to *not* create a proper /etc/ntp.conf if one decided to install ntpd on a whim" (It's actually dpkg, not debconf, but the basic point stands.) Because of this, system-tools-backends should take care not to create /etc/ntp.conf as an empty file if it does not already exist. ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Triaged ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to system-tools-backends in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83604 Title: ntpdate 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1ubuntu2 has a flawed configuration file. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Is this still buggy in Lucid? Anyway, I think fixing bug 583994 by replacing ntpdate with ntpd would solve this the right way. -- ntpdate 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-1ubuntu2 has a flawed configuration file. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/83604 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to system-tools-backends in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

The bug report for package "ntp" has been triaged and a priority assigned. Only the package "system-tools-backends" has been marked invalid as it does to appear to be the root cause of the problem requiring a code fix.
