systemd comes with a simplified client-only time service called
systemd-timesyncd
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/systemd-timesyncd>, which,
on many systems, is on by default. You should run either systemd-timesyncd
or ntp, but not both.

To see if you are already running systemd-timesyncd:

*apt list --installed | grep systemd-timesyncd*


To see if you are running ntp:

*apt list --installed | grep ntp*


Personally, I run the systemd version, because it is smaller and simpler.
If you want to do this, first remove ntp (if it has been installed):

*sudo apt remove ntp*


Then enable the systemd version:

*sudo timedatectl set-ntp true*


To see its status:

*timedatectl status*


This should really be in the wiki somewhere...
