Hi,
we are using ntp as a standard service, and it's deployed and configured by 
puppet. So using chrony instead of ntp client is not really an option.

I just wanted to mention a dirty but possible quickfix to get around
this bug:

apt install freeipa-client # let it correctly solve all dependencies and 
uninstall ntp for now
dpkg --ignore-depends=freeipa-client -r chrony
vi /var/lib/dpkg/status # remove chrony from dependencies list of 
freeipa-client package
apt install ntp

As you probably can imagine this should only be a temporary solution.
Therefore we already repackaged the freeipa-client package, removed the
chrony dependency and put it in our local Ubuntu mirror.

I also think changing the chrony dependency to be a "recommends" instead
of a "depends" is an essential change to the package.

Unfortunately I am not really aware of how the voting and contribution
to changes in Ubuntu packaging works. Please point me in the right
direction!

Thanks a lot and all the best!
Jojo
