Bug Description

When setting Configuration to "Keep synchronized with Internet servers" in the "Time and Date Settings window", when NTP support is not installed, it opens a popup offering to "Install NTP support". However clicking that button fails with the following error:

"Could not install package

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files"
