Bug#918190: systemd: timesyncd stopped updating clock file after package update

[Michael Biebl]

Hello,

systemd-timesyncd.service in previous releases used DynamicUser=true.
This will create a symlink /var/lib/systemd/timesync pointing at
../private/systemd/timesync and make sure it is properly owned by
systemd-timesync:systemd-timesync

This was reverted upstream in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/162e0b75f9c9f698f94c228c2f9148120f03e9a2

Can you post the output of
ls -ld /var/lib/systemd/timesync
ls -la /var/lib/private/systemd/
