[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#590210: ntp: ntp breaks dhcp3-client deinstalls dhcp in testing

[Hendrik Tews]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1
Severity: critical

ntp_1%3a4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1_i386.deb has "breaks dhcp3-client" in
squeeze while the new dhcp client is not yet available for
squeeze. The default procedure of aptitude is to upgrade ntp and
deinstall dhcp, which makes it impossible to connect to the
internet afterwards.

The system information below might not be entirely correct,
because it was gathered after reinstalling dhcp3-client and
downgrading ntp. 

Bye,

Hendrik
