Dr. Nikolaus Klepp scripsit:
You know, it occurs to me that there are many on this list who would advise
that everybody without exception ought to use aptitude instead of apt-get.
Indeed, I was going to say this earlier, and held my tongue,
Some of us old guys are used to apt-get, but this might be a good move, as it
will basically do it all for you, and could possibly give you more
information, if not actually resolve your issues by some automagical method,
inscrutable to us mortals.

The package with "ntpdate-debian" is called "ntpsec-ntpdate" - sound
obvious, doesn't it? You can search for it with these commands - that is,
if "aptitude" and/or "apt-file" are installed (which they are not,
by
default, but the packages providing these commands are called "aptitude"
and "apt-file"):
aptitude search ntpsec-ntpdate
apt-file search ntpsec-ntpdate
Ok, this was a copy&past error. You can search for the package containing a
cerain file with apt-file, not aptitude:
$ apt-file search ntpdate-debian
ntpsec-ntpdate: /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
ntpsec-ntpdate: /usr/share/man/man8/ntpdate-debian.8.gz
