Package: ntpdate Version: 1:4.2.8p10+dfsg-6 Severity: important In the postrm, ntpdate does an unconditional rm -rf /var/lib/ntpdate without checking whether ntpsec-ntpdate is installed (which also uses the same directory). It should protect the rm -rf with some sort of test for whether ntpsec-ntpdate is installed (even if only in config-files only state).
Best wishes, Julian
