Title:
ntpdate-debian not working
Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in ntp package in Debian:
Unknown
Bug description:
[Impact]
* ntpdate-debian fails to work if ntp is installed at the same time
due to a conflict in the updated ntp config to the ntpdate-debian
script.
[Test Case]
# e.g. spawn xenial container
# Note: only occurs when ntp is installed as well
$ apt-get install ntpdate ntp
$ ntpdate-debian
(Note for latter verification enable proposed in that container and re-update
ntpdate)
[Regression Potential]
* There could exists a custom user conf that had a mixed server AND
pool specified, that now will use the first of both types while
instead formerly it would have used the first server entry. The chance
for this is super-low IMHO, but this case exists.
--------
in 16.04 I get this
# ntpdate-debian
28 Apr 09:54:14 ntpdate[30747]: no servers can be used, exiting
The problem is that ntpdate-debian parse /etc/ntp.conf, searchin for the
word "server",
but the format of the file as changed a bit
< server 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
< server 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
< server 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
< server 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org

> pool 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst
> pool 1.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst
> pool 2.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst
> pool 3.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org iburst
25c24
< server ntp.ubuntu.com
---
> pool ntp.ubuntu.com
the word server as been replaced by "pool"
