Package: ntpdate
Version: 1:4.2.2.p4+dfsg-2
Severity: normal

ntpdate is started whenever a network interface becomes "up". The start
script is /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate.

Now imagine this scenario: you have a machine attached to a LAN. This
machine uses a static IP address (i.e. no PPP, no DHCP). It runs a local
nameserver.

The network is started by /etc/rc0.d/S35networking, which starts ntpdate
when eth0 becomes "up". At that time, the local nameserver is not yet
available, it is started by /etc/rc[2345].d/S15bind9. ntpdate cannot
resolve the names of the NTP servers and fails.

I have no idea what to do about this scenario except run a start script
between /etc/rc[2345].d/S15bind9 and /etc/rc[2345].d/S23ntp. But
automatic detection of this situation is not easy.

I guess this bug can be closed with a more modern init system now the
default in Debian.
