** Description changed:

+ OpenNTPd does not install from the package repository.  ntp and ntpdate install / uninstall just fine.
  The error message for openntpd:

  This happens even after purging:
  $ apt-get purge openntpd
  
  I would expect the package manager to be able to install openntpd
  without errors or else suggest a way to clear the problem out of the
  way.
