Public bug reported:
root@lxc:~# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
Release: 10.04
root@lxc:~# apt-cache policy ntpdate
ntpdate:
Installed: 1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1
On interface up /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate is invoked, which in turn
invokes ntpdate. In some setups, for example when Ubuntu runs in XEN
domU or in LXC container, there is no need to do this. It can actually
do more harm than good.
I think there should be a way to disable this, for example by adding a
RUN_IFUP_NTDATE=no to /etc/default/ntpdate. Workarounds:
1) remove the file or disable executable bit on /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
2) remove 'ntpdate' package, but this also removes ubuntu-minimal
