Hello Guixen.
From the Guix System (aarch64) powering a RockPro64 SBC.


What's broken:  ntp-service-type
                chrony
                
How it's broken:
ntp-service-type segfaults (Mike seen).
chrony segfaults:
`guix describe`   --->   guix 81ea278
`cat /home/vits/tmp/c   --->   pool pool.ntp.org iburst`
`sudo chronyd -d -u vits -f /home/vits/tmp/c   --->   Segmentation fault`

The `chronyd` works if used with -Q flag (".. it only prints the offset
without making any corrections of the clock and it allows chronyd to be
started without root privileges").


What's glitchy: openntpd-service-type

How it's glitch:
The dhcp-client-service-type + openntpd-service-type = not updated time
(easy to note since RockPro64's time is 2013 year after every reboot).

The openntpd-service-type works with static-networking-service-type.
It also sets the time correctly if `sudo herd restart ntpd` after boot.
Tested with (allow-large-adjustment #t).


Thank You Mike for the work-around with a static-networking.

Thanks for attention, Vitaliy.

I fixed a crash of Chrony and NTP with commit

Sorry, my installation now broken.
Also sorry for delay.
Was tweaking Guix and playing with sockets.

Cannot confirm, hope it is working.
Thank You, man.

Okay, I'll close the bug for now. If anyone is still experiencing it, we
