Bug Description
Binary package hint: ntp
Every 5 minutes, ntpd complains about being unable to create a socked on an ipv6 address. I'm running a new installation of Maverick 10.10. Here is my syslog:
Jan 8 04:05:01 pgfs ntpd[2608]: synchronized to 91.189.94.4, stratum 2

I'm running ntp 1:4.2.4p8+
FYI, here is the output of md5sum /usr/sbin/ntp*. I think these are the latest packages:

This is a brand new installation. The sequence of steps to reproduce this are:
1. Install Maverick on a RAID 1 system. Separate / and /home partition.
2. Install Updates
3. Install graphics card hardware driver
4. Download ifenslave. Configure bonding. Set static IP address.
5. Install NTP

Confirmed using the following setup:
qemu/libvirt vm running Maverick 10.10 i386 install; added two additional network adapters and then bonded eth1 and eth2 using a fairly standard bonding configuration (ifenslave as described above). ipv4 addressing works fine - however get the same error message as the original reporter when ntp tries to bond to the ipv6 link address on bond0:
