Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3.1
Followup-For: Bug #484974
Dear Maintainer,
I also think this is a problem, specially on hosts with a lot of alias
interfaces.
This may possibly be related to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647465
and
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649692
I attached a patch to fix it.
Thanks,
~David
