Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Confirmed that the manpage is present but the binary is missing. This needs further investigation (as to whether there is some logic to this or it is just a mistake). ** Tags added: server-next -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1604010 Title: sntp missing Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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.
