Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 19.10's systemd package introduced /lib/systemd/system/systemd-
timesyncd.service.d/disable-with-time-daemon.conf. This prevents
systemd-timesyncd.service from starting if the ntp package has been
installed. However, ntp.service has a Conflicts directive for systemd-
timesyncd.service. If both services are enabled, neither will start on
boot. This breaks upgrades from < 19.10 to 19.10 for systems that have
both ntp and systemd installed.
Possible workarounds:
- Uninstall ntp
- Disable systemd-timesyncd.service
