Hi Mark, Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
You could run: $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt upgrade And report the full output of your console here. Since so far there isn't enough information in your report to differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New. very likely the configuration of this package is somehow broken and so on update it fails to restart. But the bug lacks any data that would help to analyze the case. ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1740407 Title: package ntpdate 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.11 failed to install/upgrade: EOF on stdin at conffile prompt Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am not up on the technical jargon.
