Package: ntp Version: 1:4.2.8p3+dfsg-1 Followup-For: Bug #793745 I observed the same issue with the recent update from testing, although I narrowed this down to a possible change or bug in other packages.
On my system /etc/nsswitch.conf was set to compat for passwd/group/shadow and I did set it (reset it, I don't know) to files to fix the issue. Maybe a recent libnss broke things. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages ntp depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dpkg 1.18.1 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libcap2 1:2.24-9 ii libgcc1 1:5.1.1-14 ii libopts25 1:5.18.6~pre3-3 ii libreadline6 6.3-8+b3 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.2d-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 ii netbase 5.3 Versions of packages ntp recommends: ii perl 5.20.2-6 Versions of packages ntp suggests: ii ntp-doc 2:4.2.6.p5+cw-1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/ntp.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
