The plot thickens....

I searched in Synaptic and the ntp-simple package is NOT installed -
but the entries for it are in /etc/rc#.d/ nonetheless. To my knowledge
it isn't hurting anything, so I'm not really worried about a fix. Is
there a log file somewhere that tells me when I installed/upgraded
which packages? Maybe that would shed some light on the subject. I'm
going to go ahead and remove the (broken) symlink to ntp-simple.

While I now know that the presence of ntpdate is correct, there is no
entry for it in the rc#.d directories. SHOULD there be?

I really haven't added much to the default install - primarily
Inkscape and the game Enigma. At this point I'd just like to make sure
I haven't buggered something up.

I know it's a busy day for Canonical - so I COMPLETELY understand if I
don't hear anything about this for a while. I'd rather you be worrying
about more important stuff. :-)
