Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2+deb7u3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Usually, ntp obtains its servers via dhcp. As soon as network-manager is
installed, this is broken, because NetworkManager disables the dhcp
hooks. This issue is known for a long time and known as #537358. The
network-manager maintainers do not view this as a bug in NetworkManager,
and asked to fix this in the respective packages instead. ntp is one
such package.
This is broken in wheezy, jessie and sid.
I am attaching a patch against sid, that adds the relevant integration
into NetworkManager by reusing the dhcp hook.
