I have been doing upgrades from source for ages and never had a problem. It is a documented process and I only upgraded some of the computers from 5.3 to 5.4, e.g. not across major versions. I believe the chance it's caused by borked installation is minimal - what do you think influences ntpd? It's linked to 4 libraries, all of them are updated, it doesn't use any system config files and there was only a slight change in imported ntp version. It can be caused by bad config of ntpd which only recently began to matter or more probably by a kernel change. I will try to boot with 5.3 kernel. I'll also try to see if I can reproduce it on some computer which I can try fresh install on. Michal
