Bug 141162 – net-misc/ntp with Zeroconf support / issues

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description David Li 2006-07-20 06:35:34 UTC]

After emerging net-misc/ntp-4.2.2* with avahi installed, I recieve this error with running ntpd:

*** WARNING *** The programme 'ntpd' uses the Apple Bonjour compatiblity layer of Avahi.
*** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
*** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=ntpd>
ntpd: compat.c:986: DNSServiceRegister: Assertion `callback' failed.
Aborted

Then ntpd exits. There is no Zeroconf use flag to disable the feature and make ntpd start properly.

I propose using this patch from upstream:
https://ntp.isc.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=241
to correct any ntp zeroconf issues. See more information about it here:

when upstream has this resolved i'll take their patch ... i dont really know anything about zeroconf to try and support this myself, sorry
