I am looking for/trying to install ntpd
I am using the following Ubuntu distribution:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 15.10 Release: 15.10 Codename: wily sudo apt-get install ntpd Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package ntpd
What I do see is the openntpd - OpenBSD NTP daemon package.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

According to the Ubuntu webpage Time Synchronisation with NTP:
sudo apt install ntp
The manpage for ntpd.conf says
wily (5) ntpd.conf.5.gz
Provided by: openntpd_5.7p3_1_i386
and following that link: OpenBSD NTP daemon says
This is an alternative implementation of the NTP software, made by the OpenBSD Project. It makes use of privilege separation, only implements a subset of the NTP protocol, adjusting the rate of the clock to synchronize the local clock.
Alternative packages which provide similar functionality arentpandchrony.
So according to the description, you could use any of those (at least there are packages for ntp and crony).
In Ubuntu's repository, it is called ntp.
sudo apt-get install ntp
