[Bug 1778911] Re: freeipa-client hard depends on chrony

[Robie Basak]

Looks like this was fixed in 4.7.1-1 in Debian, so this is fixed >=
Cosmic in Ubuntu.

If you need a fix for an existing stable release, please comment with a
justification against https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When
and complete steps 1 through 4 in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure - and go ahead
with all the steps if you can. Note that that SRU team would need to
make a final decision.

Bug description:
  That freeipa-client needs accurate time to work is obvious. But there are various ways to go about this:
  1) install a  timeserver like chrony or ntp
  2) Not at all, because the system is an lxc client and thus the time is synced externally.

  Currently chrony is installed, and another package requires ntp.
  Furthermore puppet is running on the host and installs chrony on one
  run and in the next run ntp etc etc. And that on a host which requires
  neither.

  There are many ways to solve this problem with various levels of being
  accurate. Please think the problem through in such a way that all
  possible scenarios are covered.
