I recently performed an upgrade from a really old release (Jessie or Stretch) to something newer (Bullseye, iirc). It is an old LePotato dev board, so it has been neglected for some time. The board's time was a bit munged. It was a day behind, like no adjustments were being made. When I checked, both ntp and systemd-timesyncd were installed, but neither were configured correctly. I removed the ntp gear, reinstalled systemd-timesyncd, enabled the service, and things have been fine since then. I'm not sure how I got into the state where both ntp and systemd-timesyncd were installed, but neither were being used. It may have been something I did a long time ago. Jeff
