[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#521139: sento: Invalid argument errors

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.4p6+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

This seems to be the same issue as archived bug #392250: I have lots of
lines like this in my logcheck mails:

  Mar 23 22:09:42 apricot ntpd[3119]: sendto(194.109.153.91) (fd=18): Invalid argument
  Mar 23 22:09:42 apricot ntpd[3119]: sendto(213.206.97.167) (fd=18): Invalid argument
  Mar 23 22:09:43 apricot ntpd[3119]: sendto(194.88.2.88) (fd=18): Invalid argument
  Mar 23 22:09:43 apricot ntpd[3119]: sendto(85.17.233.194) (fd=18): Invalid argument

The machine is a laptop that gets different IP addresses from a DHCP
server. It started quite recently, so it seems the issue was indeed gonde
for a while.
