Package: chrony
Version: 1.30-1+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

with chrony 1.30-1 I could use the 'user' option in /etc/chrony/chrony.conf to
make chrony run as regular user. Since 1.30-1+b1 this is not possible anymore.
chrony fails to start with the following messages:

# chronyd -d
2014-11-09T12:00:28Z chronyd version 1.30 starting
2014-11-09T12:00:28Z Fatal error : dropping root privileges not supported

Downgrading to 1.30-1, I could run chrony as regular user again. It surprises
me a bit than this regression was introduced by a rebuild with no source
changes. 

Kind regards,
Milan
