Problem: Local clock differs significantly from ntp servers. Started after apt upgrade on 17-Jun-2019.
Symptom: systemctl status systemd-timesyncd shows Fail, (code=exited, status=238/STATE_DIRECTORY).
Diagnosis: /var/lib/private is mode 0755 and/or some entries therein have unknown user. Red Hat forums mention this permissions problem.
Cure: chmod 0700 /var/lib/private; rm -rf /var/lib/private/*; systemctl start systemd-timesyncd; timedatectl
