 An update/addendum to this PR, that perhaps goes without saying, is that
 this problem exists also if the ntp server does respond on all addresses,
 but the client that ntpdate is running on doesn't have the proper
 connectivity.
 
 In my particular case (5.4-STABLE) ntpdate tries to connect to the valid
 IPv6 address and fails becaus the client itself doesn't have proper ipv6
 connectivity.
