Bug Description
Kubuntu 10.10, KDE 4.5.1
When I try to modify the time server in the KDE Date and Time settings panel I get a message like:
"Unable to contact time server: europe.
I can ping the time pool server:
PING europe.pool.org (64.99.80.30) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from url.hover.com (64.99.80.30): icmp_req=1 ttl=118 time=114 ms
......
The bug only occurs when the package "ntp" is installed. It does not occur when I uninstall the package or when I disable ntpd with "sudo service ntp stop".
Also, I noticed that the ntpdate startup script does behave nicely: it stops ntpd before running ntpdate.
Quoting /etc/network/
......
invoke-rc.d --quiet ntp stop >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
/usr/
invoke-rc.d --quiet ntp start >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
.....
Is there perhaps another, less nicely behaving script or program somewhere (in KDE perhaps?) that invokes ntpdate-debian without stopping ntpd, when the user tries to change something in the Date and Time settings panel?

Have you tried updated the time with different time servers?
