[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#433484: ntp: for a dcf77 refclock it requires /dev/refclock-0 which gets deleted at a reboot

[Folkert van Heusden]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal


I have a dcf77 receiver (from Gude: www.gude.info) connected to my
system. This works. For this to work I need a symboliv link from
/dev/ttyS2 to /dev/refclock-0. Now when a reboot occurs, this symbolic
link gets removed. So the ntp package are startup-script or so should
recreate this symbolic link at startup.
