[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#388722: ntpdate: /etc/ntp.conf is missing

[Michael Hauser]

Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg.2-2
Severity: normal


running 

/etc/init.d/ntpdate start 

reports 

sed: can't read /etc/ntp.conf: No such file or directory

This is because the file /etc/ntp.conf is not installed and is
not part of the ntpdate package. The sed command is run in 

/etc/defaults/ntpdate
