[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#793745: ntp fails to start

[Christophe Wolfhugel]

I do agree there must be something else which broke the
getpw call or the libc somehow. On another machine I also
have compat for nsswitch.conf and it worked.

Also on my setup the Perl "getpwuid/getpwnam" functions
were still working correctly despite the ntpd's call failing.

I do not have a clear track about other packages which were
upgraded and may have caused the failure, it can virtually
be anywhere in the system.

My libc6 is also 2.19-19, but there have been ways too many
package upgrades for me to easily identify things step by
step.
