Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-07-19 19:14:49 UTC 
This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/12776

"Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 1.3.0.1-0

The ntpdate package installs an S symlink for ntpdate in /etc/rcS.d/.  I
disabled this by hand: I renamed it from S51ntpdate to K51ntpdate.  (This is the
correct way to disable a script in rcS.d/.)

I ran g-s-t "Services" manager and enabled ntpdate.  It created an S50ntpdate
symlink in the current multiuser runlevel (3), leaving the K symlink in rcS.d/
still present. This less than ideal.  If 3:S50ntpdate is the proper location for
the S symlink then the ntpdate package should not put an S symlink in rcS.d/. 
If rcS.d/ is the right place for the symlink then g-s-t should not put one in
the current multiuser runlevel."

maybe the same issue as #142658?
Comment 2 André Klapper 2012-11-24 20:29:23 UTC 
According to its developer(s), gnome-system-tools is not under active development anymore. Functionality has been mostly integrated into GNOME Control Center / "[System] Settings".

It is unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel
free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility
for active development again.
