The reason to consider this was that there was a custom /etc/ntp.conf but the user chose to take the Maintainers version, so all should be safe. Yet it complains that dpkg --configure failed But there is also an associated 600:0:116:110797:2015-02-10 10:26:08.381689786 +0100:2015-02-10 10:26:09.381689786 +0100:/var/crash/ntpdate.0.crash reported. At the best case the issue doesn't trouble you anymore, but if it does share the info and also more of your setup details related to NTP to help recreating it. ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1420189 Title: package ntpdate 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: package ntpdate is already installed and configured Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: simple apt-get upgrade ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: ntpdate 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-43.72-generic 3.13.11.11 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-43-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.6 AptdaemonVersion: 1.1.1-1ubuntu5.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Tue Feb 10 10:26:09 2015 DuplicateSignature: package:ntpdate:1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.2:package ntpdate is already installed and configured ErrorMessage: package ntpdate is already installed and configured InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-12-20 (51 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) ProcCmdline: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-43-generic root=UUID=a9797117-3c2c-459f-b1d6-e67ac3e7f34a ro quiet splash SourcePackage: ntp Title: package ntpdate 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: package ntpdate is already installed and configured UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) modified.conffile..etc.ntp.conf: [modified] mtime.conffile..etc.ntp.conf: 2015-02-06T17:31:46.510805 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1420189/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
