[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#616684: ntpd complains: syntax error, unexpected T_Mask, expecting T_EOC

[Friedemann Stoyan]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

when using restrict with IPv6 networks the ntpd complains:

ntpd[18410]: line 41 column 32 syntax error, unexpected T_Mask, expecting T_EOC
ntpd[18410]: syntax error in /etc/ntp.conf line 41, column 32

Line 41 is:

restrict -6 2001:6f8:12ec:10:: mask ffff:ffff:ffff:f000:: nomodify

This configuration works flawlessly with Lennys ntpd (1:4.2.4p4+dfsg)
but no with squeeze anymore.
