Did you install any other network time sync daemon? Some of them mask systemd-timesyncd via maintainer scripts, or may have a conflict with the systemd-timesyncd package.

If so, please switch time sync mode to "custom", via dietpi-config or

sudo /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-set_software ntpd-mode 0

If there is no alternative time sync daemon, unmask systemd-timesyncd, in case assure it is installed:

sudo apt install systemd-timesyncd
sudo systemctl unmask systemd-timesyncd

Then rerun the update.

somethimes this happen after upgrade from Debian Bullseye to Debian Bookworm

[MichaIng]

Ah right, as the package is no strict dependency anymore, on Bookworm.

Thank you. I had same issue. I followed the steps above:
swith time sync mode to "custom"
and then the "sudo apt install..."
Worked like a champ.
Thank you for the support. Running V9.8.9 on my ROCK64 that is supporting pihole for my home network.

@bobodaclown1 it is either switching to "custom" mode, or installing systemd-timesyncd, not both. Either you installed a different time sync daemon already, hence do not need systemd-timesyncd, then you switch to "custom". Or you did not install any time sync daemon by yourself, then install systemd-timesyncd, but leave the time sync mode at daily, hourly or daemon, depending on the precision you need.
