Paul,
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I've just checked the current development version, and I see
"@{NTPD_DEVICE} rw" in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd and
"@{NTPD_DEVICE}="/dev/null"" in /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/ntpd.
You said that you're using 10.04. This is an older release than where
the bug was fixed in, so this would make sense. If you are using an old
release, a workaround is to fix /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd by hand.
Even in the current release, it appears that it is intended and required
to specify the serial port device in /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/ntpd.
So as far as I can determine, this bug is fixed in the current
development version and there has been no regression. But if I'm
mistaken, please let us know!
