Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.8p12+dfsg-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I noticed that system clock was off by minutes and ntpd was not running, nor was systemd-timesyncd. Here's what syslog showed for Apr 11, the day that ntp stopped: Apr 11 08:43:08 bonnet kernel: [1033254.722518] systemd: 54 output lines suppressed due to ratelimiting Apr 11 08:43:08 bonnet systemd[1]: Stopping Network Time Service...

Apr 11 08:43:08 bonnet systemd[1]: ntp.service: Succeeded. Apr 11 08:43:08 bonnet systemd[1]: Stopped Network Time Service. Apr 11 08:43:08 bonnet systemd[1]: systemd-timesyncd.service: Succeeded. Apr 11 08:43:08 bonnet systemd[1]: Stopped Network Time Synchronization. Apr 11 08:43:08 bonnet systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Network Time Synchronization being skipped. There is no coredump file. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I started ntp with systemd. The time synced, as desired, but it exits again. Here's what daemon.log show from today: Apr 14 09:12:37 bonnet ntpd[30901]: 129.250.35.250 local addr 192.168.42.66 -> <null> Apr 14 09:14:26 bonnet ntpd[30901]: receive: Unexpected origin timestamp 0xe05ddae1.a4519274 does not match aorg 0000000000.00000000 from server@45.56.118.161 xmt 0xe05ddae2.6856ffbc Apr 14 09:14:26 bonnet ntpd[30901]: receive: Unexpected origin timestamp 0xe05ddae1.a4544e2f does not match aorg 0000000000.00000000 from server@192.111.144.114 xmt 0xe05ddae2.697c8478 * What was the outcome of this action? ntp won't run for very long without exiting. * What outcome did you expect instead? I was hoping that ntp would be stable once it was restarted. I see that packagekit is also failing, but perhaps ntp's failure is causing it: Apr 14 09:10:33 bonnet PackageKit: refresh-cache transaction /186129_aceadcdd from uid 1000 finished with success after 29419ms Apr 14 09:10:35 bonnet PackageKit: get-updates transaction /186130_ddddacda from uid 1000 finished with success after 2267ms Apr 14 09:10:36 bonnet PackageKit: get-updates transaction /186131_bebabcaa from uid 1000 finished with success after 822ms Apr 14 09:10:37 bonnet PackageKit: get-updates transaction /186132_dcbcabce from uid 1000 finished with success after 802ms Apr 14 09:15:39 bonnet systemd[1]: packagekit.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=15/TERM Thanks for volunteering with Debian, Alison Chaiken ali...@she-devel.com -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE= (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii libc6 2.28-8 ii libcap2 1:2.25-2 ii libedit2 3.1-20181209-1 ii libopts25 1:5.18.12-4 ii libssl1.1 1.1.1b-1 ii lsb-base 10.2019031300 ii netbase 5.6 ii tzdata 2019a-1 Versions of packages ntp recommends: ii perl 5.28.1-6 ii sntp 1:4.2.8p12+dfsg-3 Versions of packages ntp suggests: ii ntp-doc 1:4.2.8p12+dfsg-3 -- no debconf information
