Check out this document :
https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/serverguide/NTP.html

Ubuntu as it's a Debian derivative does not use rpm, but deb packages.

I think you can use alien to convert rpm to deb

install from this command
Code:
sudo apt-get install alien dpkg-dev debhelper build-essential

To convert rpm to deb use this
Code:
sudo alien ntp.rpm

finally install from dpkg
Code:
sudo dpkg -i ntp.deb

if rpm you are trying to install is compatible with your system architecture you are done
