Bug Description
IMPACT: When attempting to sync to some ntp servers, a failure is consistently produced.
FIXED: In oneiric and upstream >4.2.6p3-RC9 or >4.2.7p80
PATCH: debdiff attached.
REPRODUCE: On Natty run ntpdate against an NTP server where receive and transmit timestamps are equal (Includes windows server 2003).
Test: ntpdate xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Expected failure is:
ntpdate[7149]: no server suitable for synchronization found
Expected success is (example):
ntpdate[13959]: adjust time server 66.36.239.66 offset 0.144635 sec
DISCUSSION:
Regression potential is considered low. It is a patch cherry picked from upstream, and has been fixed in some other distros since December 2010.
