Hi Chuck, The /etc/rc2.d/S50ntp script was never changed. My machine has been through three upgrades (Intrepid, Jaunty and Karmic). When I examined the file I discovered that it was an actual file and not a sym link to /etc/init.d/ntp. When I replaced the file with this sym link and then ran 'apt-get install -f' the install completed successfully. I don't know when or how /etc/rc2.d/S50ntp became a file, but it is definitely not something I did deliberately. I hope this helps you.
Regards, Joe. -- Joe Power IT Systems Manager On Mon, 2009-12-14 at 13:38 +0000, Chuck Short wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for the bug report.
