Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The initscript for ntp should add a dependency on $named because it fails
to start when resolv.conf is set to 127.0.0.1 and the local dns server is
not yet running.
Cheers,
Francois

Actually the $network virtual facility also provides $named so I would say
that everybody should have it running even if they're not running a DNS server.

Alright, in that case I'll close this bug. My original problem was probably
due to the other bugs you pointed to.
Thanks for your help!
