Upgrade from bionic to focal broke for this system which has chrony
installed.
After do-release-upgrade exited (warning that the system was in an
indeterminate state) I was unable to fix the system initially. It seemed
that systemd-timesyncd was somehow interacting badly with chrony:

Removing chrony (3.2-4ubuntu4.2) ...
Job for systemd-timesyncd.service failed because the control process exited
with error code.
See "systemctl status systemd-timesyncd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for
details.
dpkg: error processing package chrony (--remove):

Errors were encountered while processing:
chrony
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I turned off the systemd-timesync ntp and that then allowed chrony to be
removed (not quite what I wanted but that is another story):

Removing chrony (3.2-4ubuntu4.2) ...
And then installing chrony again worked.
So it looks like we need to harden the chrony packaging for the world of
systemd-timesync in general if we want upgrades to focal with chrony not
to have problems.
