When I run "pacman -S ntp", I get an error:
error: failed to commit transavtion (conflicting files)
ntp: /etc/ntp.conf exits in filesystem
I checked and ntp.conf does exist and contains the default contents for ntp.conf. (ie. restrict default noquery ...).
I do not have have binaries for ntpd, ntpupdate, ntpq etc on my system.
Why would I have a ntp.conf file?
I don't remember ever installing ntp (and it clearly is not installed now).
Would another package have installed this config file?
I guess the solution would be to delete /etc/ntp.conf and run pacman again. Is this correct?

Just move ntp.conf to another dir (if this need you), install ntpd and then resettle ntp.conf

Thanks. It worked. Got ntp working.
I see the Arch wiki page for ntp is out of date. When I have a cance I will update it.
