[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#594071: ntp: dies with no reason

[Robert Krawczyk]

Hi there!

After an upgrade from lenny to squeeze my ntp daemon also started
dying without any reason, there is no information in the logfile. The
lenny version worked without any problem.
Interestingly chtitux uses the ntp daemon from testing:

> Package: ntp
> Version: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1

The versions in lenny and squeeze are:

# lenny (oldstable) (net): Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs
1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-8lenny3: alpha amd64 arm armel hppa i386 ia64 mips
mipsel powerpc s390 sparc
# squeeze (stable) (net): Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs
1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1+b1: amd64 armel i386 ia64 kfreebsd-amd64
kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc

Maybe something changed from 4.2.4 to 4.2.6? I am using the hardware
clock "mouseCLOCK USB II" (it worked fine on lenny).

Best regards,
Robert
