But would that not be /etc/systemd/system/…/systemd-timesyncd.service? The dangling symlink is for ….timesync1.service, whatever that is. Analogously, my systemd-networkd service has two symlinks: /e/s/s/dbus-org.freedesktop.network1.service /e/s/s/multi-user.target.wants/systemd-networkd.service both pointing to /lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd.service . I don't know what the first of those does. Cheers, David.
