After an upgrade of glibc from v. 2.15-r2 to 2.15-r3, net-misc/ntp is not working as before. When I query locally ntp I got the following result: $ ntpq -p remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== LOCAL(0) .LOCL. 10 l 24d 64 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 +dns1.madeiratec 94.23.252.191 3 u 14 1024 377 0.303 1.676 0.223 *dns2.madeiratec 46.19.35.135 3 u 505 1024 377 0.159 -2.862 0.433 I then upgraded glibc: $ sudo emerge -pv glibc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
