Package: chrony
Version: 1.30-2+deb8u2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On *slower systems* like BananaPi chrony is always offline after system
start. To bring it online one has to do: "/etc/init.d/chrony restart".

The course of the problem is a timeout value within the startup-script.
On *slow machines" the startup of chrony takes more than 2 seconds.
The developers have been too optimistic (Developement systems are usualy
pretty fast). ;-)

I have had the problem with 3 different machines. All architectures are
affected.

-- System Information:

DEVUAN Jessie.

I deleted the system-information, since Im writing this bug report from
another machine, and it does not make any difference anyway.

Best Regards
and a BIG THANKYOU for all the good work.
