Package: openntpd Version: 1:6.2p3-4+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Having a lot (6 in my case) of virtual network interfaces configured on the same physical network interface on /etc/network/interfaces makes openntpd daemon failing to start on boot. The root cause of this bug is the same pointed by the bug report 898159: the script located in /etc/network/if-up.d/openntpd is triggered everytime a new interface is added leading to a restart of openntpd. This behavior is not suitable while booting as all interfaces are being bringing up (see log bellow). As this script is usefull only if you define the listen statement in opnntpd config (which isn't by default), I deleted it to solve my problem in the meantime. However, I think the patch pointed by the bug report 898159 should solve this issue. Regards, Feb 18 10:30:46 debian systemd[1]: Starting Raise network interfaces...
