Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Attempting to update failed with
Preparing to replace ntpdate 1:4.2.0a+stable-9 (using .../ntpdate_1%3a4.2.2+dfsg-1_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement ntpdate ...
Setting up ntpdate (4.2.2+dfsg-1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/ntpdate ...
invoke-rc.d: initscript ntpdate, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing ntpdate (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 6
Errors were encountered while processing:
ntpdate
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Not sure where it bombs, but running "/etc/init.d/ntpdate start" exits
with code 6 because I don't have an NTPSERVERS set in
/etc/default/ntpdate; if that's what's being done.
(I don't use that setup file because I run "ntpdate some.host.name"
explicitly. Oh, and I really don't want the time changed unless I
tell it, if that's what's being attempted.)
