Public bug reported:

Dear developers of the lubuntu-desktop package,

I am not experienced on bug reporting. Let me know if additional testing
would be required. For instance, I could install lubuntu on a virtual
machine, to make the bug easily reproducible. Let me know if this would
useful, or just a waste of time.

I am working with a small computing platform as part of my research, an Odroid 
XU3. For information about this platform you can check this website:
http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G140448267127
Basically it is a small computer that is equipped with a relatively powerful 
ARM processor.

My issue, is that for my work I need to synchronize the clocks among
various machines connected through LAN and WLAN networks. For this
purpose we have been using quite successfully "chrony",
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chrony . The problem is that
"chrony" (sudo apt-get install chrony) requires the uninstallation of
the "ntp" package. Then, because "ntp" is required by "lubuntu-desktop",
we also need to remove the lubuntu GUI.

Then, the bug would be "easily reproducible":

- Clean install of lubuntu on an Odroid XU3
- Go to terminal: sudo apt-get install chrony
- This requires the removal of ntp.
- The removal of ntp causes the removal of lubuntu-desktop

So my question is, is it be possible to run lubuntu-desktop without ntp,
or alternatively with chrony? If any of these are possible, how can it
be achieved?

I hope that I could clarify the issue that I am facing with lubuntu-desktop, 
ntp and chrony,
Thanks a lot for your help!
Best regards,

Jesús Pestana

  lubuntu-desktop requires the ntp daemon, this creates a conflict with
  other time synchronization tools such as chrony
