Hi, I'd like to update ntp in Stretch to fix Bug#887385. There have been numerous reports about ntpd segfaulting with the libc6 update from stretch-proposed-updates or in sid. It does not happen on all machines (I for one did not see it once). There has been an upstream bug and an upstream patch to increase the stack size. This patch has been part of sid/buster for some weeks now and one of the reporters on the bug confirmed it being fixed. Debdiff attached. Thanks, Bernhard
