It was just so easy to force a quick update with "ntpdate -u <server>".
ntp and ntpdate (1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3) systemd (227-2) Dale
I installed lockfile-progs to try to fix this, and it did not work. I
had no choice but to remove ntpdate on affected systems. Interestingly,
this seems to affect only systems that have been converted to using
systemd. Those not converted still boot happily with both packages
installed, so there seems to be a systemd component, as well.
