Description of problem: nagios-plugins-ntp contains old perl script instead of compiled binary check_ntp. Source tree on https://github.com/nagios-plugins/nagios-plugins contains these to checks in two directories - old perl script in plugins-scripts and the c-code in plugins. So there is the name conflict and probably during rpm building the compiled binary version of check_ntp is than overwritten by the perl script. Please, remove the perl version from the source tree or rename the perl version or somehow correct the logic of merging (name conflicts) checks/files from those directories. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): BAD 2.2.1-16.20180725git3429dad.el7 (contains perl version) BAD 2.2.1-15.20180725git3429dad.el7 (contains perl version) OK 2.2.1-9git5c7eb5b9.el7 (contains binary version) How reproducible: Update packages to latest available version.

Now it's also broken in the new version of nagios-plugins 2.2.1-15.20180725git3429dad.el6 in EPEL 6, released yesterday.
The problem is in that the package nagios-plugins-ntp doesn't contain binary check_ntp but the perl script, which is the same like the one from the package nagios-plugins-ntp-perl (check_ntp.pl). Problem started with nagios-plugins version 2.2.1-15.20180725git3429dad for both EL6 and EL7.
OK my apologies for the delay on this. I have found that the upstream makefile installing the wrong plugin and I thought I fixed this twice before but missed it.
