[Linuxptp-users] Alert for Ubuntu 22.04

[Marco D. (SIDN) <mar...@si...>]

Hello,

This is a heads-up for those planning to move to Ubuntu 22.04.

There was a change in the LinuxPTP package that will prevent it to 
coexist with other time daemons such as chrony, ntp and ntpsec, even 
though this is a common use case.

The issue is mentioned here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linuxptp/+bug/1959825
(there is also a poor man's method described how to fix it, should you 
run into problems after all).

And here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1002980

The issue was introduced here:

https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/linuxptp/-/commit/3cbf3d3e4767f2ab6eb495ed979eb78340f42bb9

In response to:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=994293

It's a rather annoying thing to run into when not expected, so I figured 
it would be a good thing to let you know in advance.

Feel free to click the "Does this bug affect you"-option in Launchpad. 
It might help to speed up a fix, before the official release of 22.04 in 
a few months.

Cheers,
