You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

In Ubuntu 16.04, the binary file /usr/bin/sntp is missing from the
package ntp. The associated man page /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz is
still included.

How to reproduce:

$ sudo apt-get install ntp
$ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp
/usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz

Expected result:

/usr/bin/sntp was included in Ubuntu 14.04:

$ dpkg-query -L ntp | grep sntp
/usr/bin/sntp
/usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz

The sntp program remains a very useful tool for interactively testing on
the command line the offset of the local clock to a remote NTP server
(like "ntpdate -qu [ntp-server]" previously). It should be included in
the same package as its man page.
