Well it's theoretical question which applies for mysql example as well. There're few options: 1) Add support of the service to ntpstat 2) Add "Conflicts:" to either the service or ntpstat spec. In any case As far as ntpstat suggests chrony It's safe. In other words user has to explicitly install ntpstat and "the service". Well It may happen that ntp/chrony will change the API :) and will not be longer compatible with ntpstat etc. > > If old ntp is installed, I think an upgrade should result in both new ntp > and ntpstat installed.
