Raspberry Pi OS • Re: [Bug] /var/lib/systemd/timesync/clock is a 0644 directory on fresh Trixie Lite install (Breaks offline time retentio

Questions:
1. Can anyone else reproduce this on the Trixie Lite image? Is it actually a bug?
2. Does anyone know which build script or package rule mistakenly created this path as a directory during the image creation?
3. To work around this safely, should I simply `rm -rf` the directory and `touch` it as a standard 0644 file?

Thank you!

1. You're using an old IMG (2025-10-01), which most definitely had this problem. This issue does NOT exist on the most recent IMG (2026-04-21).
2. See 1)
3. You could, but there were a few other issues in that IMG. Best to just move forward and use the most recent IMG
