Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The configuration file /etc/ntp.conf contains a line specifying the
statsdir path. There may be multiple spaces and/or tabs between the statsdir
specifier and the actual specified path value.
The daily cron job /etc/cron.daily cleans up statsdir but in determining
the path assumes there is but a single space between statsdir and the path.
If this is not the case, the statsdir continues to fill up with lots
of files.
The following patch replaces the specifier for a single space` ' with
the GNU sed `\s' to denote white space (space or tab) and allows for
the possibility of one or more space or tabs between statsdir and the
specified path.
