Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.8p3+dfsg-1 Severity: serious After today's update ntp no longer starts on my Sid system. After being gone on travel for ten days I return and update Sid and now ntp isn't running.
The log message reports: Jul 26 19:23:54 hysteria ntpd[15300]: ntpd 4.2.8p3@1.3265-o Sat Jul 25 15:02:27 UTC 2015 (1): Starting Jul 26 19:23:54 hysteria ntpd[15300]: Command line: /usr/sbin/ntpd -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -g -u 109:116 Jul 26 19:23:54 hysteria ntpd[15301]: proto: precision = 0.838 usec (-20) Jul 26 19:23:54 hysteria ntpd[15301]: restrict 0.0.0.0: KOD does nothing without LIMITED.

Thank you for maintaining ntp in Debian!
