[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#880648: pool configuration directive does not work

[Erwan David]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.8p10+dfsg-3+deb9u1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/ntpd

When unsing a pool configuration directive, the pool apears in the
peer list but no peer form this pool

@bibi:~ % ntpq -c lpe
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
 0.fr.pool.ntp.o .POOL.          16 p    -   64    0    0.000    0.000   0.000
*ntp.rail.eu.org 131.188.3.223    2 u   45   64   77    6.576    0.566   0.346

With ntpd 4.2.8p10 on FreeBSD (11.1-RELEASE-p3) I get a line for the
pool plus a line per peer from the pool.
