[Bug 1125726] Re: boot-time race between /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate and "/etc/init.d/ntp start"

[Nathan O'Sullivan]

This fix is causing problems on Ubuntu 12.04 for me; for both KVM hosts
and KVM guests. I see a message like

lockfile creation failed: exceeded maximum number of lock attempts

On my hosts, it delays boot finishing for several minutes; while some of
my guests just never become network accessible.

For anyone else bitten by same issue, I am currently using this workaround:
chmod -x /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
