Both bug 688971 and bug 768803 are rooted in an incorrect control file.
The control file says:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9),
texinfo, bison,
libedit-dev,
libnss3-dev,
libtomcrypt-dev
This build-dep list is incomplete. In order to enable the program to drop
root privileges, the libcap-dev build-time dependency has to be added. If
that package (and its dependencies) are installed at build time, then
./configure reports
Checking for linuxcaps : Yes
and "config.h" will contain
#define FEAT_LINUXCAPS 1
which is what SYS_DropRoot() needs in "sys.c".
(The runtime dependency is libcap2.)
The package should also add a system account called "chrony" at
installation time, and pass "-u chrony" in the init script by default. In
general /etc/default/chrony would be appreciated; for example option "-4"
is something people might want to set.
Thanks,
Laszlo
