Bug Description

When NTP support is not installed, checking "Synchronize clock..." gives the message about needing to install NTP support, but does not offer to do so, nor give instructions as to the appropriate packages to install.

This in edgy (2.15.91-0ubuntu2)

problem would be with time-admin, not clock-applet.

I can confirm this. Clear instructions should be given, or install NTP support by default.
