[Bug 715152] Re: [SRU] ntp wont run on IPv6 only host unless lo has 127.0.0.1 address

[Clint Byrum]

In reviewing this diff for lucid-proposed:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/69484036/ntp_1%3A4.2.4p8%2Bdfsg-
1ubuntu2_1%3A4.2.4p8%2Bdfsg-1ubuntu2.1.diff.gz

and the other similar diff for maverick-proposed;

It took me a while to see why it was "Forwarded: not-needed". The Origin
header of the patch would usually tell me, but that just shows me where
this file was added to Natty in a merge. Its fairly difficult to tell
that this patch is just the differences for this file between 4.2.4 and
4.2.6, which the linked upstream bug report tells me is the revision in
which the bug has been fixed.

I don't see where our time will be used well by tracking that down much
further, but I wanted to make it clear that this is not very straight
forward.

Given that, we need to see wide spread testing of this before it leaves
-proposed.

APPROVED: the package version 1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 uploaded to lucid-proposed should be accepted.
APPROVED: the package version 1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu6.1 uploaded to maverick-proposed should be accepted.
