The problem obviously come from line 47 in the postinst script: update-rc.d ntp multiuser 23 >/dev/null
The multiuser keyword seems unknown to update-rc.d Replacing multiuser with "defaults" - I did it manually now by editing /var/lib/dpkg/info/ntp.postinst - lets me install the package properly, or, in this case now, fix the broken install with apt-get install -f -- ntp-update: Error while configure ntp - error code 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317128 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
