[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#793837: ntp: Please include sntp in the ntp package

[Marek Sebera]

Dear maintainer,

could this be fixed one or another way? Trying to get sntp when needed
is pain. "sntp" binary is shown across all utils I can use to search
through available packages, but the binary is not installed.

This is really confusing

thank you!

-- apt-file search sntp
ntp: /usr/bin/sntp
ntp: /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz
ntp-doc: /usr/share/doc/ntp-doc/html/sntp.html

-- apt-cache search sntp
libcommons-net-java - Apache Commons Net - Java client API for basic
Internet protocols
rdate - sets the system's date from a remote host

-- apt-file show ntp | grep sntp
ntp: /usr/bin/sntp
ntp: /usr/share/man/man1/sntp.1.gz
