Summary: in Ubuntu, we don't expect to use ntpdate any more. We're leaving bugs in ntpdate packaging behind, on the basis that ntpdate no longer needs to be installed by default.

Can you fix the problem by removing the ntpdate package?

Is there anything unique about your configuration that means that you're hitting this bug "by default"? How is it that you have ntpdate installed in the first place? If you installed it yourself, why did you install it?
