Bug#1147072: systemd: timedatectl show-timesync; Failed to parse bus message: Connection timed out

Package: systemd
Version: 262~rc1-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: martin-eric.racine at iki.fi

In the process of debuging why autopkgtest fails (again) for src:dhcpcd,
I noticed that (this time) the cause is that timesyncd/timedatectl fail
to talk to dbus, which in turn makes dhcpcd's timesyncd exit hook fail.

I just uploaded a new src:dhcpcd with more explicit autopkgtest output.
It shows that autopkgtest fails upon calling 'timedatectl show-timesync'.
