I have to beg your pardon that I (and it seems nobody else) found time for that. Thinking about it again I think this isn't a ntp issue anyway but a generic problem for status_of_proc of init-functions.
Marking that to affect lsb-base instead due to that, that even applies to Xenial as far as I could see so I'm not yet clear if/which releases to mark. ** Package changed: ntp (Ubuntu) => lsb (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1569856 Title: wrong status of ntp service Status in lsb package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'am using lxd containers.
