Package: ntp Severity: important Version: 1:4.2.0a+stable-8.1 I just dist-upgraded to current testing, and got the following messages.
Ntp fails to start after the update: User root does not exist invoke-rc.d: initscript ntp-server, action "start" failed. ... Restarting NTP server: ntpd... start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 3927: No such process invoke-rc.d: initscript ntp-server, action "restart" failed. Running /etc/init.d/ntp-server start after the installation seems to work, though.. Also, removing /etc/interfaces/if-up.d shouldn't produce stderr messages, since the directory isn't expected to be empty. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Preparing to replace ntp 1:4.2.0a+stable-2sarge1 (using .../ntp_1%3a4.2.0a+stable-8.1_i386.deb) ...
