Same here.
After security upgrade (probably multiple upgrade steps at the same time, as
the last one is about 8 weeks ago), I got this message at the end of the
upgrade, and keep getting it, even though I totally removed ntp and try to
reinstall it now.
The package is therefore totally uninstallable, and also unusable.
