Hi Everybody,
I looked into this again as a friend asked me. And it turns out there is an
update probably worth it.
Two things to mention:
1. the locking issue of /run/lock/ntpdate vs /var/lock/ntpdate (Thanks Paul for
finding that).
While I agree it is an issue by reading the code, I found that it is not
that much of an issue
effectively. The reason is that the base directories are linked.
# ll /var/lock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 25 09:51 /var/lock -> /run/lock/
2. The collision of the stop/starting of ntpd due to the ntpdate hook.
That is a real issue and actually causing more than just your symptom here.
That part of it will be addressed in bug 1593907 which is about to be SRUed
soon I hope.
Now what does this imply for this bug here, I'd say there is quite some
hope that the issue resolves once the SRU of bug 1593907 is complete. I
couldn't yet reproduce so I can't verify yet.
But I want you involved and get the automatic updates of the SRU process so
that you can check any effect on your issue when it is available.
What I'll do is to mark this bug as a duplicate to 1593907. Once that one is in
proposed please update this bug over here (not on the one I it dup to).
If it fixes the issue great - and I hope/expect it does - great, if not we can
un-dup this one again.
