[Bug 700492] Re: ntp complains about ipv6 errors every 5 minutes

Sat Aug 17 21:38:00 UTC 2013

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ntp
- 
- I believe this is a duplicate of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/569919, which has a status of "Fix Released"
- But I have the fix, and the problem still occurs.

  Every 5 minutes, ntpd complains about being unable to create a socked on
  an ipv6 address. I'm running a new installation of Maverick 10.10. Here
  is my syslog:

  Jan 8 04:05:01 pgfs ntpd[2608]: synchronized to 91.189.94.4, stratum 2
  Jan 8 04:05:01 pgfs ntpd[2608]: kernel time sync status change 2001

  I'm running ntp 1:4.2.4p8+dfsg-1ubuntu6.
  FYI, here is the output of md5sum /usr/sbin/ntp*. I think these are the latest packages:

  42415ef5eb851dabe9d06a67cf992d28 /usr/sbin/ntpd
  c1d85ce075c70928b53692561fdc5277 /usr/sbin/ntpdate
  79af988228131692520be14d25355a8e /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
  d4ae7ee172f7ed340c4e1b406c04d16d /usr/sbin/ntp-keygen
  b7f7e4e0fb1d4e2aece718b18ae28b46 /usr/sbin/ntptime
  7d4b58d1da97ba46ba8eeab08b345a44 /usr/sbin/ntp-wait

  This is a brand new installation. The sequence of steps to reproduce
  this are:

  1. Install Maverick on a RAID 1 system. Separate / and /home partition.
  2. Install Updates
  3. Install graphics card hardware driver
  4. Download ifenslave. Configure bonding. Set static IP address.
  5. Install NTP
