[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#478655: 'ntpdlockfile creation failed' on system boot

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-4
Severity: normal


On system boot, ntp init script stalls for a very long time and then prints
this error (?) :

Starting NTP server: ntpdlockfile creation failed

ntp server seems to start just fine, but complete boot process is delayed for a
very long time.

Stopping and starting the service after boot does not produce any visible
error.
