[Bug 305043] [NEW] ntpd does not support ipv6

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

Binary package hint: ntp

The ntp daemon is apparently not being built with IPv6 support, despite
the fact that the /etc/ntp.conf it ships with contains IPv6
configurations.

The default configuration includes:
# By default, exchange time with everybody, but don't allow configuration.
...
restrict -6 default kod notrap nomodify nopeer noquery

# Local users may interrogate the ntp server more closely.
...
restrict ::1

However when starting the daemon, the latter triggers the following error:
 3 Dec 23:55:28 ntpd[5215]: getaddrinfo: "::1" invalid host address, ignored
