as systemd was respun due to bug 1942899, and only the one udev (hwdb) patch was reverted which shouldn't affect this at all, I'm remarking this as verified still based on testing for the previous version above.

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.
