Hello Mark,
Debian chrony maintainer here.
So, this error occurs when attempting to rehabilitate systemd-timesyncd when
uninstalling/purging chrony (see restore_timesyncd() in d/postrm). This used
to be possible when systemd-timesyncd and chrony were co-installable but since
systemd 245.4-2{,ubuntu1}, this is no longer the case because systemd-timesyncd
is now a standalone package conflicting with chrony, hence the exit status 1.
To fix this, the restore_timesyncd() function found in the chrony
3.2-4ubuntu4.2 postrm script should be updated as follows:
restore_timesyncd() {
# on next reboot it would start, but that would leave time
# unsynchronized until then. So as the Conflicts in the service file
# kill systemd-timesyncd re-establish it if it is enabled
if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then
deb-systemd-invoke start systemd-timesyncd || true
fi
>From what I can see, the chrony version found in Disco Dingo is also be
affected by this issue.
Cheers,
Vincent
