Public bug reported:
I'm using Xubuntu 17.04 but I don't think this problem is specific to
Xubuntu.
By default, "Configuration" in "Time and Date Settings" is set to
"Manual". If I change the option to "Keep synchronized with Internet
servers" I am prompted to "Install NTP support" or to cancel the change.
Obviously this is only when the ntp package isn't already installed.
Clicking on "Install NTP support" displays a notification window to say
that an application is requesting additional packages and that is can be
found in "Software". Clicking on that window brings up gnome-software
which says that the requested package cannot be found.
I'm sure that in the past I was prompted for my administrator password
as would be expected when installing software.
Although I'm reporting this using a live environment I also saw this
with my full disk based installation.
