Install script Uninstalls systemd-timesyncd which is nescessary for NTP

[SaltyIcetea]

as the title says, whenever i run the install script, i find that i need to reinstall system-timesyncd. after installation the manual verification of "timedatectl set-ntp yes" functions without issue, then after running the script i get the following error, after which i find that system-timesyncd has been uninstalled:

"Failed to set ntp: NTP not supported
Command which failed was: " timedatectl set-ntp yes". Please try to execute it manually and attach the output to the bug report in the forum thread.
If it still doesn't work report this to the author at https://forum.sinusbot.com/threads/sinusbot-installer-script.1200/ only. Not a PN or a bad review, cause this is an error of your system not of the installer script. Line 686."

system info:
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64
Kernel: 6.1.0-31-amd64
Shell: bash 5.2.15

It sounds like the installer script you're using is unintentionally removing systemd-timesyncd, which is essential for enabling NTP with timedatectl set-ntp yes. This likely happens due to a conflicting dependency or cleanup step in the script. After running the script, try reinstalling systemd-timesyncd with sudo apt install systemd-timesyncd, then re-enable NTP. You may also want to check the script around line 686 to see what’s being removed and modify it to exclude systemd-timesyncd.
