You apparently already have a NTP client running on IPv4 which then
conflicts with your IPv6 client (mind the 'address already in use').
Thus kill the IPv4 version (su; netstat -anp |grep 123) and it
should work, it does here ;)

Btw: ntp-unstable-simple should conflict/remove ntp-simple ;)
And a suggest for ntpdate-unstable could be nice to (which
also conflicts/removes the normal ntpdate)

ntp+IPv6'd hosts: noc.sixxs.net, nlams01.sixxs.net, nlams02.sixxs.net
