Package: dhcpcd5 Version: 6.10.1-1 Severity: normal File: /sbin/dhcpcd5 Dear Maintainer,
I was working on setting up ntp in my home network, when noticed that the ntp server was not restarted after dhcpcd created a new ntp configuration. Ater some debugging i found this part in /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks/50-ntp.conf: 46 if [ "$ntp_service" = ntpd ] && type invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then 47 [ -e /var/lib/ntp ] || mkdir /var/lib/ntp 48 : ${ntp_service:=ntp} This will not change $ntp_service to "ntp", so the ntpd daemon will not read its config again. Changing this to: 48 ntp_service=ntp made things work. A note, debian lately expect the generated configuration to exists in /run/, not in /var/lib/ntp, but that can be changed in /etc/default/ntp.
