Public bug reported: ntp-systemd-netif.path contains the following:
[Install] WantedBy=network-pre.target However, network-pre.target is a passive systemd target. It is used only for ordering, and is not guaranteed to be pulled in unless something else calls for it explicitly. On a host where nothing pulls in network-pre.target, the ntp-systemd-netif path monitoring never gets started, and so changes in /run/systemd/netif/leases never trigger the dhclient exit hooks for ntp. Instead, the systemd unit that starts the path monitoring should be configured with something like: [Unit] Wants=network-pre.target Before=network-pre.target [Install] WantedBy=network.target ** Affects: ntp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: ntp-systemd-netif.path contains the following: [Install] WantedBy=network-pre.target + However, network-pre.target is a passive systemd target.
