Hi everyone!  Thank you for your suggestions.  They taught some new tricks.

As it happened, I had to reboot the machine for an unrelated (?) reason
(monitor would not wake from sleep).

After the machine rebooted, I was able to run `dpkg-reconfigure ntp`
without error.

Unfortunately, I'll never know what the problem was.

Thank you all for your help.
