[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#490225: /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate: line 35: lockfile-create: command not found

[Sven-Haegar Koch]

Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-6
Severity: minor


Since a little while ntpdate reports at "ifup" time:

aurora:~# ifup eth0
/etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate: line 35: lockfile-create: command not found

The program is available as /usr/bin/lockfile-create (otherwise the if block
wouldn't execute), but /usr/bin is not in the PATH anymore - shortly before
calling lockfile-create the ntpdate script sources
/lib/udev/hotplug.functions, which contains:

	PATH='/sbin:/bin'

(at least in the installed udev 0.124-2)

I think either the udev PATH statement should be changed (then please
reassign this bug), or ntpdate should call the lockfile programs with
full path.
