Removing the last uncertainties, the related Debian bug being fixed fixed it in sysv init. That now has: LOCKFILE=/run/lock/ntpdate
It has so e.g. in Artful. And thereby we considered being fixed as well after merging that. But versions >= that also have the systemd wrapper which doesn't lock at all. Need to check Zesty if that might have no systemd wrapper yet but fixed sysv-init only. ... Yep as I thought it really was fixed in Zesty by not (yet) having the systemd wrapper. ** Also affects: ntp (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Also affects: ntp (Ubuntu Zesty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu Zesty) Status: New => Fix Released ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1706818 Title: mismatched file locking since 1:4.2.8p4+dfsg-3ubuntu1 causes race leaving ntp dead on reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/1706818/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
