Hi, the runit integration for ntpsec (currently in runit-services package) uses the path of the binary to be run by the script to trigger debhelper-like heuristic (enable/disable the service and restart during upgrades). So far /usr/sbin/ntpd was used for the ntpsec runscript: the problem with /usr/sbin/ntpd is that is shipped also by openntpd, so when the openntpd package is installed, both ntpsec and openntpd runscripts are enabled. However the command line is not compatible[1], so using the ntpsec runscript with openntpd or vice versa won't work. [1] compare the two manpages https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/openntpd/ntpd.8.en.html https://manpages.debian.org/testing/ntpsec/ntpd.8.en.html It would be very useful for the runit integration if your package could ship a symlink to /usr/sbin/ntpd that is unique, so that the runit integration could use that for its trigger; an obviuos choice would be /usr/sbin/ntpsec patch: adding the following link file to the debian directory in source should do it cat debian/ntpsec.links -------------------------------- /usr/sbin/ntpd /usr/sbin/ntpsec /usr/share/man/man8/ntpd.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/ntpsec.8.gz --------------------------------- Best Regards, Lorenzo
