Public bug reported:

I do not know if this is related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1409594

In my system, 14.04 fully updated, the time is not kept in sync with
network servers.

When starting, I have this complain:

Feb 11 08:47:51 pern kernel: [775910.071548] systemd-timedated[14157]:
/etc/localtime should be a symbolic link to a timezone data file in
/usr/share/zoneinfo/.

But then no error is shown, and the setting panels says that I am using
network time --- which is not true. After a day, if I deselect/reselect
network time, I have:

SYS: Feb 11 08:47:58 pern kernel: [775917.016524] systemd-timedated[14157]: Set NTP to disabled
SYS: Feb 11 08:47:59 pern kernel: [775918.305488] systemd-timedated[14157]: Set NTP to enabled
SYS: Feb 11 08:48:59 pern ntpdate[14170]: step time server 91.189.94.4 offset 53.842810 sec
SYS: Feb 11 08:49:01 pern dovecot: imap: Warning: Time jumped forwards 53 seconds

...so it's definitely not working. Any help/hint/workaround?
