oops, typos ...

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. Anno domini 2022 Tue, 13 Sep 22:36:44 -0500
[...]
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
Nik 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 resolver is what makes me use both - each one has it's ups and downs and both work
in general very reliable as long as you are not too creative :)
