Weird!

The fact is that, at some point, I found out that chrony was no longer
running on my box, while systemd-timesyncd was somehow running instead.

I am pretty sure I had *not* manually issued a "service
systemd-timesyncd start" command before that point in time.
I only issued that command afterwards, while investigating the mystery,
and saw that it had the power to stop chrony.

Do you have any idea about what could have happened?

Thanks for your prompt replies and for any additional help you may
provide!
