Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.
Regrettably, this appears to be a problem of corruption in your dpkg database, not a bug in the ntpdate package. This points to most likely one of three conditions:
- your disk is full,
- your disk is failing, or
- your filesystem is corrupted.
I'm therefore marking this bug as invalid. If you have further evidence to indicate that the problem is filesystem corruption caused by a kernel failure, then please feel free to reopen this bug with more information, reassigning it to the 'linux' package.
