Bug Description
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

This is apparently another instance of glibc 2.8 breakage. See also #249824. Solution is again to define _GNU_SOURCE, though I'm not sure the best place to accomplish that.
