Understood - I've subscribed to the the list since early 2000’s, and remember the recent complaint.

The reason I suggested it was part of the package & removed by removing the package is because I Eric’s How To has steps for removing Debian NTP.  (GPSd is not installed by default.)

Maybe he just needs to add a note that if the pre-installed NTP is not removed, his How To will fail.  Same applies to gpsd - if they have tested gpsd from Debian, they need to remove it or the How To will fail.

Thanks,
