Comment 12 for bug 1741227

Hi Tony,
yeah this is so far only fixed in Bionic (18.04) onwards.
It it not really an issue other than a log message itself (it is not needed for the opt parsing).
It occurs "only" on NTP start/restart (since it is arg parsing) so it is not that frequent that it would fill up the log or similar secondary issues.

All that makes it a hard case for the SRU policy [1] to make this change in releases.
Until then everybody who bothers about the log message can add:
   /usr/local/{,s}bin/ r,
to
   /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.ntpd

I'm adding X/A bug tasks and set won't fix to mark that more explicitly.

I'm happy to discuss if one thinks this case would qualify fot the SRU policy - the change itself is easy enough to be done.
