** Summary changed: - 245.4-2ubuntu1 has broken chrony autopkgtest + 245.4-2ubuntu1 throws stderr messages on timesyncd restart in its dhcp hook

On a system that installed chrony (or other NTP servers) you'll have: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-=================-==============-============-=============================================================== ii chrony 3.5-6ubuntu3 amd64 Versatile implementation of the Network Time Protocol rc systemd-timesyncd 245.4-4ubuntu1 amd64 minimalistic service to synchronize local time with NTP servers That left this behind: /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/timesyncd And if you now run a dhcp based time server push it will fail very badly. P.S. This is triggered by the chrony autopkgtests but not an issue in chrony yet it is in systemd. But due to that one can use [1] as easy reproducer, I wonder how systemd slipped by this issue in autopkgtest? It contains: systemctl try-restart systemd-timesyncd.service || true Which in the setup the system now has will trigger: sudo dhclient dummy0 Failed to try-restart systemd-timesyncd.service: Unit systemd-timesyncd.service is masked. P.S. I'll harden the chrony test to not stumble over this but it should be revisited for systemd to provide a better fix than causing this message every time (maybe pre-check if it is enabled and unmasked)?
