Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This issue looks very similar to LP# 1630877. Can you provide a little more information about your system by running the following commands:

$ ldd /usr/bin/ntpq
$ apt-cache policy openssl
$ apt-cache policy libssl1.0.0

This will get information as to what version of openssl and libssl are installed on your system and where they came from.

I would also highly recommend that you make sure to do a full update to gather any security updates:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Since there isn't enough information in your report to differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I'm marking this bug as Incomplete. 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.

I patch the test result.
$ ldd /usr/bin/ntpq
$ apt-cache policy openssl
$ apt-cache policy libssl1.0.0

[Joshua Powers (powersj)]

Your version of openssl is > 4 years old. Did you try updating your system?

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
