[Bug 1451247] Re: wrong ntpdate dependency in ubuntu-minimal

 

On a related note: systemd-timesyncd seems to be blindly imported from
Debian so it defaults to *.debian.pool.ntp.org - if Ubuntu consider
itself to be a separate product than it might make sense to apply for
*.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org

Title:
  wrong ntpdate dependency in ubuntu-minimal

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu-minimal has a hardcoded dependency on ntpdate which is entirely
  unnecessary because for basic minimal task of syncing time with ntp
  server systemd-timesyncd is more than enough. Replacing this
  dependency will allow to save some space on install media and make
  learning easier for new users because timesyncd follows exact same
  configuration convention as the rest of the stack which makes it
  natural to get aquainted with.
