ntp postinstall attempts to perform a MD5 sum, which is a no-no with FIPS.
I have not encountered this bug on previous LTS versions of Ubuntu with FIPS.

Description: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Release: 22.04

ntp:
  Installed: 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-1ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-1ubuntu2 500

[Actions performed]
I attempted to install ntp onto jammy 22.04.4 LTS with FIPS.
$ sudo pro attach key-goes-here
$ sudo pro enable fips-updates
$ reboot
--after reboot--
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install ntp

[What you expected to happen]
ntp tool installs prior to personal configuration, does not report anything in red

[What happened instead]
Job for ntp.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
