No. This is an incorrect response.
Really?
Um...your own homework, below, suggests that ntp is
not the only package that performs the task in
question. Since ntpdate does not depend on ntp, then I
have to say, simply REALLY!
apt-cache search ntp | grep ^ntp
ntp - Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs
ntp-doc - Network Time Protocol documentation
ntpdate - client for setting system time from NTP servers
ntpstat - show network time protocol (ntp) status
My beef here is with the original respondent, whose
glib one work reply ("ntp") suggested that was the
be-all and end-all of the question. I have run out of
patience with the self-appointed experts on this list
who are clearly suffering from delusions of adequacy,
if not outright IQ insufficiency.

I am not a loony. Why should I be tarred with the epithet
'loony' merely because I have a pet halibut? I've heard
tell that Sir Gerald Nabarro has a pet prawn called Simon
- you wouldn't call him a loony!
