chrony backport for kernel 3.2.x-bpo

[Juergen Descher <jhdl@gmx.net>]

Hello,

are you planing to backport chrony? It is installable from testing, but
IMHO it would be nice to have it in squeeze-backports.

Debian Bug report logs - #628919
/usr/sbin/chronyd: Starting with kernel v3.0, chronyd will refuse to start

I've installed chrony from testing - and all is fine again.


:r!uname -a
Linux host 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1~bpo60+1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
