Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3+b1 Hi, I was hitting that two days ago and now also got another report for the same on Ubuntu.
Quoting from our bug report: The problem is that ntpdate-debian parse /etc/ntp.conf, searchin for the word "server", but the format of the file as changed a bit < server 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org < server 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org < server 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org < server 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org --- > pool 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst > pool 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst > pool 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst > pool 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst 25c24 < server ntp.ubuntu.com --- > pool ntp.ubuntu.com the word server as been replaced by "pool" I wanted to fix in Debian first and then later do a merge in the Yakkety cycle. That said, this initial mail is to create a Debian bug number for me to track. Essentially it should just be sed -rne 's/^(servers?|peer)[[:space:]]+(-[46][[:space:]]+)?([-_.:[:alnum:]]+).*$/\3/p' "$file" => sed -rne 's/^(servers?|peer|pool)[[:space:]]+(-[46][[:space:]]+)?([-_.:[:alnum:]]+).*$/\3/p' "$file" I'll come up with a debdiff the next few days after I had some time to test it. But feel free to integrate right away if you consider it trivial.
