Package: openntpd
Version: 3.9p1+debian-8~bpo60+1
Severity: normal

This software inexplicably shifts the clock by 3000 seconds (around 10 minutes) 
every 4 days when running in a 
Xen domU in Debian Squeeze. Example logs:

May 18 19:35:56 athena ntpd[1411]: skew change -11.931 exceeds limit
May 18 19:35:56 athena ntpd[1412]: clock is now synced
[...]
May 22 12:26:18 athena ntpd[1411]: adjusting local clock by -2999.762566s
May 22 12:26:18 athena ntpd[1411]: adjtime failed: Invalid argument
May 22 12:26:18 athena ntpd[1412]: clock is now unsynced

The clock is now 50 minutes off. The first message appeared when ntpdate was 
ran manually to resync the clock.

The workaround that I have found was to install the plain ntp package, which 
doesn't suffer from this behavior. 
I have been running it for 4 days without the same clock skew...
