Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. If indeed this is a local configuration problem, you can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community Or if you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New. ** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ntp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783157 Title: package ntp 1:4.2.8p10+dfsg-5ubuntu7.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed ntp package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Status in ntp package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I also had the bug on grub-efi-amd64-signed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2-signed/+bug/1753518 Perhaps there is a link between both.
