Title: Consider replacing ntpdate calls by 'ntpd -g' Status in NTP: Invalid Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ntp package in Debian: New Bug description: Binary package hint: ntp Given that 'ntpdate' is being obsoleted upstream [1], we should replace 'ntpdate' usage by: * ntpd -qg (if we really want to set the time and exit), or * ntpd-g (if we want to keep ntpd running) the '-q' option will set the clock once, and exit; the 'g' allows for large corrections to the clock, like what is done by 'ntpdate'.
