Note that this new version depends on 
http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/81585/ which provides the 
packaging of ntp's home directory, which wasn't captured into 
master-next.  That would be obscured by the presence of the previous 
version of this patch which (IMO) improperly uses volatile to create 
that directory.
