[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#391352: still upgrade problem with missing ntp user

[Arthur de Jong]

reopen 391352
thanks

After a recent upgrade the ntp system user seems to be gone. Tracing my
steps, this is probably caused by purging the ntp-simple package after
the new ntp package is installed (from a glance at the postinst and
postrm).

Also it seems that /var/lib/ntp and /var/log/ntpstats are also gone. The
system user and these directories were probably owned by an old ntp-*
package and moving them to the plain ntp package causes these problems.
