Public bug reported: ntpsec has taken over the old ntp namespace.
For a while it had transitionals to pull in the new by the old names: ntp, ntp-doc, ntpdate, sntp These have been dropped in https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ntpsec/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/changelog?ref_type=heads#L47 The merge of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntpsec/1.2.3+dfsg1-8ubuntu1 over the former https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntpsec/1.2.3+dfsg1-3 makes this a migration issue. old binaries left on amd64: ntp, ntp-doc, ntpdate, sntp (from 1.2.3+dfsg1-3ubuntu1) But they have been on noble, so the transition should be fully complete, and does not need to be retained to the next LTS. Debian has it removed for quite a while now rma ntp ntp | 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-2~1.2.2+dfsg1-1+deb12u1 | oldstable | all ntp | 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-2~1.2.2+dfsg1-4build2 | noble/universe | all ntp | 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-2~1.2.3+dfsg1-3 | plucky/universe | all ntp | 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-2~1.2.3+dfsg1-3 | questing/universe | all ntp | 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-2~1.2.3+dfsg1-3ubuntu1 | questing-proposed/universe | all Yet interestingly on the other hand for that there is quite a list of rev-deps left: $ for p in ntp ntp-doc ntpdate sntp; do printf "\n\n## Check for $p\n\n"; reverse-depends --release questing $p; reverse-depends --release questing --build-depends $p; done ## Check for ntp Reverse-Recommends ================== * ceph-base [amd64 arm64 ppc64el riscv64 s390x] * debci * gnumed-client * mythtv-backend [amd64] * openafs-fileserver [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el s390x] * radioclk [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x] * slony1-2-bin [amd64 arm64 ppc64el riscv64 s390x] * x2gothinclient-chroot Reverse-Depends =============== * mythtv * mythtv-backend-master Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x Reverse-Testsuite-Triggers ========================== * apparmor ## Check for ntp-doc No reverse dependencies found ## Check for ntpdate Reverse-Recommends ================== * gnumed-client Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x No reverse dependencies found ## Check for sntp No reverse dependencies found The reason for this is that they are all multi-alternatives: $ for p in ceph-base debci gnumed-client mythtv-backend openafs-fileserver radioclk slony1-2-bin x2gothinclient-chroot mythtv mythtv-backend-master apparmor; do printf "## Check for $p\n\n"; apt show $p 2>/dev/null | grep ntp; done ## Check for ceph-base Recommends: ceph-mds (= 19.2.1-0ubuntu3), chrony | time-daemon | ntp, librados2 (= 19.2.1-0ubuntu3), librbd1 (= 19.2.1-0ubuntu3), nvme-cli, smartmontools (>= 7.0) ## Check for debci Recommends: ntp | time-daemon ## Check for gnumed-client Recommends: gnumed-doc (= 1.8.21+dfsg-1), audiofile-tools, dcmtk, ginkgocadx | aeskulap | amide | dicomscope | imagej | xmedcon, libimage-exiftool-perl, xsane, extract, ntp | ntpdate | systemd-timesyncd, www-browser, libreoffice-writer, wgerman-medical, xdg-utils, gtklp, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra, pdftk-java, python3-vobject, python3-pyqrcode, python3-unidecode, python3-docutils, 7zip, gpg, poppler-utils, qpdf, lacheck, chktex ## Check for mythtv-backend Recommends: hdhomerun-config, libmyth-python, libmythtv-perl, logrotate, ntp | time-daemon | ntp-simple ## Check for openafs-fileserver Recommends: ntp | time-daemon ## Check for radioclk Recommends: ntp (>= 1:4.2.2+dfsg-1) | ntpsec | chrony Description: simple ntp refclock daemon for MSF/WWVB/DCF77 time signals the signals, and provides an interface to ntp via the shared memory ## Check for slony1-2-bin Recommends: libdbd-pg-perl, ntp | time-daemon, postgresql-17-slony1-2 ## Check for x2gothinclient-chroot Recommends: acpid, gnupg-agent, pinentry-x2go, pcscd, pcsc-tools, scdaemon, gpgsm, less, mc, memtest86+, syslinux, vim, x11-xserver-utils, x2gothinclient-cdmanager, x2gothinclient-usbmount, x2gothinclient-smartcardrules, ntp ## Check for mythtv Depends: default-mysql-server | virtual-mysql-server | mysql-server-5.7 | mysql-server-5.6 | mariadb-server, mythtv-backend, mythtv-database, mythtv-frontend, ntp | time-daemon | ntp-simple ## Check for mythtv-backend-master Depends: default-mysql-server | virtual-mysql-server | mysql-server-5.7 | mysql-server-5.6 | mariadb-server, mythtv-backend, mythtv-database, ntp | time-daemon | ntp-simple ## Check for apparmor By that they almost all would work The one I see blocking the removal is x2gothinclient-chroot But it is "only" a recommends, so not a hard fail and with the same issue on Debian and not updated in a long time other than NMUs. I'd consider this one outlier safe to ignore and would ask for the removal of ntp, ntp-doc, ntpdate, sntp from questing to unblock the merge. ** Affects: ntpsec (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2120321 Title: remove ntp -> ntpsec transitionals in questing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntpsec/+bug/2120321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
