Dear Vincent,
I tried again to upgrade chrony on another machine and it failed.

ri adduser 3.118 all add and remove users and groups
iF chrony 4.4-1 i386 Versatile implementation of the
Network Time Protocol
I know updating adduser from 3.118 to 3.137 will fix this bug.
I tried dpkg -i chrony_4.4-1_i386.deb with the same messages above. I
did not upgrade adduser this time.
I suggest to replace line 28 in debian/control as follows:
--- control 2023-09-14 13:52:34.323543535 +1000
+++ control 2023-09-14 13:55:18.960189965 +1000

Thank you for your time and for helping me with this bug.
