Bug#968105: chrony still not started by systemd (on Buster)

[Harald Dunkel]

Package: systemd
Version: 241-7~deb10u4

Chrony (3.4-4) is not started at boot time.

# systemctl status chrony
* chrony.service - chrony, an NTP client/server
    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/chrony.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
    Active: inactive (dead)
      Docs: man:chronyd(8)
            man:chronyc(1)
            man:chrony.conf(5)


systemd-timesyncd is not started, either:

root at nas1:/var/log/chrony# systemctl status systemd-timesyncd
* systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization
    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

      Docs: man:systemd-timesyncd.service(8)

Of course I found #947936, but this doesn't help. Apparently this
"start condition" thingy is not working correctly. Would you mind
to fix for Buster?

The system is a openmediavault filer. Its supposed to run out of the
box. Not having a proper time synchronisation (even though its
configured correctly in the web GUI) is a serious problem.


Thanx very much. Keep on your good work
