[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#788014: does not start at bootup

Sun Jan 31 06:59:10 UTC 2016

Hi all,

This problem annoys me on my latest minimal sid VM with two interfaces on
VirtualBox.
When I disable one of them on /etc/network/interfaces,
I could circumvent the problem as the timing issue worked in favor of ntpd.
But obviously that's not a strategic solution.

How about removing if-up.d/ntpdate?
I find ntpdate very convenient especially with "-d" option for ad-hoc
investigation.
I don't want to remove it from my system.

Thanks,
Kai
