[Bug 1937238] Please test proposed package

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Rasmus, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/245.4-4ubuntu3.12 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  systemd-time-wait-sync.service stuck in "activating" state after boot,
  blocks timers from starting

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [impact]

  systemd-time-wait-sync service sometimes misses sync completed event
  and remains in 'activating' state

  [test case]

  this isn't consistently reproducable, see original description for
  test case

  [regression potential]

  possible problems with the systemd-time-wait-sync service completing
  too early or not completing on time

  [scope]

  this is needed only for f

  this is fixed upstream with commit
  f6f4f5fe5395a57f10dd446c7266c53f0673eaac which is in v246, so this is
  fixed in h and later already

  the service does not exist in b so this does not apply there

  [original description]

  When I start my server running Ubuntu 20.04 the systemd-time-wait-
  sync.service is stuck in "activating" state. I noticed this because
  none of the systemd timer units triggered, because all the timers
  depend on systemd-time-wait-sync.service. Running "systemctl restart
  systemd-time-wait-sync.service" manually works around the problem.

  Some logs and command outputs:
