Bug#391352: still upgrade problem with missing ntp user
reopen 391352 thanks After a recent upgrade the ntp system user seems to be gone. Tracing my steps, this is probably caused by purging the ntp-simple package after the new ntp package is installed (from a glance at the postinst and postrm). Also it seems that /var/lib/ntp and /var/log/ntpstats are also gone. The system user and these directories were probably owned by an old ntp-* package and moving them to the plain ntp package causes these problems. -- -- arthur - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://people.debian.org/~adejong -- signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Could you please check that you upgraded ntp-simple before purging it? Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
