ntp ha no installation candidate (woody)



after revisiting the longest-thread-of-the-millennium again, i
thought i'd be a good citizen and get ntpd going instead of
ntpdate.

	# apt-get update

	Package ntpd has no available version, but exists in the database.
	This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
	never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
	of sources.list
	E: Package ntpd has no installation candidate

	root: /mnt# apt-cache show ntpd

	root: /mnt#

odd! (suggestions welcome.)
