Hi all,

Jul 14 13:04:29 epia ntpd[648]: gethostby*.getanswer: asked for

This isn't a problem. It asked for an IP6 address if available and it
wasn't, so it got an IP4 address instead.

Jul 14 13:05:44 epia ntpd[656]: no IPv6 interfaces found
Notice the process ID changed from 648 to 656 here. It looks like a
second copy of ntpd is trying to start.

The second copy can't grab port 123 because the first copy is already using it.
The output of ntpq -p should be informative. It will tell you if ntpd
is actually working.
By the way, you can use multiple servers for greater reliability, e.g.
in ntp.conf:
server 0.europe.pool.ntp.org
server 1.europe.pool.ntp.org
server 2.europe.pool.ntp.org
will give you three different randomly selected servers, in case one goes down.
