Changelog

chrony (4.3-2ubuntu1) mantic; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2018062). Remaining changes:
    - d/chrony.conf: use ubuntu ntp pool and server
      (LP #1744664, #1754358)
    - Set -x as default if unable to set time (e.g. in containers) (LP #1589780)
      Chrony is a single service which acts as both NTP client (i.e. syncing the
      local clock) and NTP server (i.e. providing NTP services to the network),
      and that is both desired and expected in the vast majority of cases.
      But in containers syncing the local clock is usually impossible, but this
      shall not break the providing of NTP services to the network.
      To some extent this makes chrony's default config more similar to 'ntpd',
      which complained in syslog but still provided NTP server service in those
      cases.
      + debian/chrony.service: allow the service to run without CAP_SYS_TIME
      + d/control: add new dependency libcap2-bin for capsh (usually
        installed anyway, but make them explicit to be sure).
      + d/chrony.default: new option SYNC_IN_CONTAINER to not fall
        back (Default off)
      + d/chronyd-starter.sh: wrapper to handle special cases in
        containers and if CAP_SYS_TIME is missing. Effectively allows
        running the NTP server in containers on a default installation
        and avoid failing to sync time (or if allowed to sync, avoid
        multiple containers fighting over it by accident).
      + d/install: make chrony-starter.sh available on install.
      + d/docs, d/README.container: provide documentation about the
        handling of this case.
    - Depend on tzdata-legacy for reading leapsectz from
      /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/UTC
      (LP #2008076)
