Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I've confirmed that the issue is as you describe in Xenial. Trusty pre-
dates the change to locking in ntp.if-up, so is consistent. Zesty is
also consistent in using flock in both places, as is Artful. So this bug
affects only Xenial.
In order to understand the importance of this bug, please could you
explain why you're using both ntp and ntpdate? ntpdate isn't installed
by default on Xenial, and shouldn't be required in the normal case
because ntp defaults to "-g". So you could work around this bug by just
removing the ntpdate package. Is there a particular reason that this
won't work in your case?
** Also affects: ntp (Ubuntu Xenial)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Fix Released
** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu Xenial)
Status: New => Triaged
