Bug#376295: AW: Re: [pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#376295: ntpdate doesn't work

[christophpfister at bluemail.ch]

Ok, did some investigation: removing /etc/services (after having 
installed inetutils-inetd) causes ntpdate to fail, so you're 
correct.

(just fyi: other packages like syslog and most likely fam are also 
affected by that, so maybe it would make sense to communicate with 
each other ...)

My first guess is that it's missing /etc/services which is
in netbase.
