systemd-timedated wants this to be a symbolic link, cf. man 5 localtime. > The /etc/localtime file configures the system-wide timezone of the > local system that is used by applications for presentation to the > user.

The resulting link should lead to the > corresponding binary tzfile(5) timezone data for the configured > timezone. > > Because the timezone identifier is extracted from the symlink target > name of /etc/localtime, this file may not be a normal file or > hardlink.

One issue with systemd-timesyncd was, that it turned the time backwards due to some incompatible setting here (fixed by #675). Another issues is, that is doesn't sync with time.molgen.mpg.de but with some external server (ntps1-0.cs.tu-berlin.de). Additionally, ntp.service needs to be started on time.molgen.mpg.de, because non-mariux systems synchronize with it, too. We know that ntp is working the way we want, which we don't know for systemd-timesyncd. So do not complicate the update by replacing it now. Remove ntp replacement from udpate script and revert "ntp: Remove version 4.2.8p8" This reverts commit 61313bf.

Another issues is, that is doesn't sync with time.molgen.mpg.de but with some external server (ntps1-0.cs.tu-berlin.de), as that is not configured yet in `/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf`. Additionally, `ntp.service` needs to be started on time.molgen.mpg.de, because non-mariux systems synchronize with it, too. We know that ntp is working the way we want, which we don't know for systemd-timesyncd. So do not complicate the update by replacing it now. So, remove the ntp replacement from update script and revert "ntp: Remove version 4.2.8p8". This reverts commit 61313bf.
