[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#503042: ntpq doesn't display a useful error message if it can't find localhost

[Russell Coker]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-7
Severity: normal

# ntpq
Name or service not known
ntpq>

Above is the result of running ntpq on a system with no entry in
/etc/hosts for "localhost".  It would be good if this could be changed
to "name localhost not known" which makes it more immediately obvious
what the problem is.
