I know it's a long time, but I'm cleaning up old NTP bugs atm.
We haven't had any similar reports since then and popularity of nis declined
since then.
Also even basic time is - without further conf - handled by systemd now which
has totally different dependencies for all of this.
Finally this was only accidentally reopened - but discussion clarified that the
second report was not the same bug.
Setting invalid since I can't manually set expired.

Title:
broken start-up dependencies for ntp (starts before NIS is available)
Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
We recently installed 12.04 LTS (32-bit) with NIS authentication and found
two bugs with ntp, the first was ntp was not installed (even though the clock
manager allowed, and defaulted to, "internet time") and the second more serious
bug reported here is we discovered that ntp is being started before the system
is capable of resolving DNS, so only time servers given by IP address are found.
Those given by name (ntp0.dundee.ac.uk and similar) are not found and, as ntp
never performs DNS lookup after initially starting, they remain unavailable
until you manually issue the command "/etc/init.d/ntp restart".
This was not a problem with 10.04 LTS, and I also though upstart was supposed
to handle such starting sequence dependencies?
$lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
$ apt-cache policy ntp
ntp:
Installed: 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3
Candidate: 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3 0
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
We expected ntp to be started after the network interfaces were up and
DNS look-up possible.
