Research direction

Start with the ntpd package build and the dependency check reported at Makefile:161. Reproduce the powerpc64_e5500 package build and inspect why ntp-utils does not declare the provider of libintl.so.8 despite the attempted libiconv dependency. Done means the package builds without the missing-library error and its declared dependencies cover the library.
