@tgl said in packages missing on new 4200:
... I don't know what "bootstrapping clock" is unless it's trying to run ntpdate.
Digging in the rc scripts shows that it's doing this:
/usr/bin/timeout -k 45 30 /usr/local/sbin/ntpd -g -q -c /dev/null {$ntp_boot_time_servers}
I didn't research that ntpd call in detail, but I suppose it's morally equivalent to ntpdate, and would probably complete pretty quickly if it had connectivity to the mentioned servers. So that mystery is explained.
