Ok, I see. > There is no conflict, but if you run both at the same time, one has to wait. > That is what you are seeing. Looking it a bit closely I’ve found my problem: in /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -s $OPTS 2>/dev/null was failing and returning a non zero exit code, and thus lockfile-remove $LOCKFILE wasn’t executed (that script has a set -e at the beginning). That’s why ntp initscript stalled later, because of the not removed lockfile. Changing the previous line to /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian -s $OPTS 2>/dev/null || /bin/true “solves” the problem for me, but I would guess that that does not solve the race condition of bug #436029.
