https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=262391

--- Comment #1 from Dennis Clarke <dclarke@blastwave.org> ---
Further details.

If we mrely use the leap seconds file provided by the base install
then we get the message :

It is trivial to replace the file with the correct revision. 

europa# 
europa# fetch https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list 
fetch: https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list: size of remote
file is not known
leap-seconds.list                                       10 kB 3151 kBps    00s
europa# 
europa# 
europa# /etc/rc.d/ntpd stop 
Stopping ntpd.
Waiting for PIDS: 1195.
europa# 
europa# cp -p leap-seconds.list /var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list
europa# 
europa# /etc/rc.d/ntpd start
Starting ntpd.
europa# 

At which point we see the message :

Works as promised ... near as anyone can tell.
