Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.6.p2+dfsg-1+b1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
There is an over-simplistic sed pattern in the ntpdate-debian script that
expects server entries in /etc/ntp.conf to be of the form server<one
space><server-name>. Using a TAB or multiple spaces breaks the pattern,
resulting in ntpdate being called with no server name at all, causing it to
exit with ``no servers can be used''.
The following patch replaces the literal space with ``[[:space:]]+'' (since
we're using extended regexps anyway) and corrects the problem:
