Comment 5 for bug 585053

I should note here, that this all happens, when connection is managed using NetworkManager - as if in clean unaltered install.

I put this bug initially under gnome-system-tools, because the situation is kind of misleading from the point of ordinary user - synchronisation takes place even when the user has not changed the setting from "Manual" to "Keep synchronised". Of course there is more than one way to fix this misleading situation. If we are considering the simplest - removing the dependency of ntpdate - then the bug should may be considered to be against package ubuntu-minimal, which brings the ntpdate in for standard install.
