** Patch added: "Fix bug as Ubuntu delta since it was lost in Debian prior to the last merge" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1576698/+attachment/4728323/+files/fix-1576698-ntpdate-parsing.debdiff
** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * ntpdate-debian fails to work if ntp is installed at the same time due + to a conflict in the updated ntp config to the ntpdate-debian script. + + [Test Case] + # e.g. spawn xenial container + # Note: only occurs when ntp is installed as well + $ apt-get install ntpdate ntp + $ ntpdate-debian + (Note for latter verification enable proposed in that container and re-update ntpdate) + + [Regression Potential] + + * There could exists a custom user conf that had a mixed server AND + pool specified, that now will use the first of both types while instead + formerly it would have used the first server entry. The chance for this + is super-low IMHO, but this case exists. + + + -------- + + in 16.04 I get this # ntpdate-debian 28 Apr 09:54:14 ntpdate[30747]: no servers can be used, exiting The problem is that ntpdate-debian parse /etc/ntp.conf, searchin for the word "server", but the format of the file as changed a bit < server 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org < server 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org < server 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org < server 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org --- > pool 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst > pool 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst > pool 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst > pool 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst 25c24 < server ntp.ubuntu.com --- > pool ntp.ubuntu.com the word server as been replaced by "pool" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576698 Title: ntpdate-debian not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ntp/+bug/1576698/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
