Package: systemd-timesyncd Version: 247.3-6 Severity: important Hi!
On upgrade from Buster to Bullseye I have seen my machines, without Internet ntp access, loose their time sync because of the upgrade. On the upgrade to the new packages, the old /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf file which specifies the right ntp servers to use, will get replaced with a default one which will not work for a setup where Internet ntp access is not available. Luckily the old file is left as /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf.dpkg-bak, so a mv /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf.dpkg-bak /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf and proper reloading will get things back to normal. I don't know why this file is being replaced, this happened on all the machines that had a modified timesyncd.conf file and the system never asked if I wanted to override the setup or leave the old one, no choice was given, it was just replaced and that's it. If you feel that this is the right behaviour, I believe that we should at least add a note on the Release Notes or similar.
