Now, I do see that ntpdate "Recommends: lockfile-progs" - I just don't think that's strong enough, it's too easy to install both ntp and ntpdate without them. Alternatively, any documentation at all that you *must* grab lockfile-progs would help (there's nothing in the docstring, README.Debian, or NEWS.Debian...) (If you're wondering why we install both: standard appliance install with varying end-user choices, where they might enable ntp or not, but if they don't they might still run ntpdate once to set the the clock... obviously we've also worked around it by installing lockfile-progs, now, but only because we ran into a system where ntpd was not running at all, because ntpdate collided since lockfile-progs wasn't present.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap1 1:1.10-14 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libedit2 2.11~20080614-1 BSD editline and history libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15+lenny1 SSL shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii netbase 4.34 Basic TCP/IP networking system Versions of packages ntp recommends: ii perl 5.10.0-19 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages ntp suggests: pn ntp-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
