Wow, we make me worry for a few minutes... ;-) I thought you meant
package ntp wasn't detected even when it was installed, which was fixed
a few releases ago.
ntpdate is absolutely not taken into account, because it doesn't keep your cock
in sync with network servers: it only synchronizes it when manually requested
(i.e. by running ntpdate on the command line). From the package description:
ntpdate is a simple NTP client that sets a system's clock to match
the time obtained by communicating with one or more NTP servers. It
is not sufficient, however, for maintaining an accurate clock in the
long run. ntpdate by itself is useful for occasionally setting the
time on machines that do not have full-time network access, such as
laptops.
So I'm closing this bug: we still need to install ntp to sync time.
** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
