NTP was working as expected in v13.2. After upgrading to Leap 42.1, it does not
start using systemctl; it starts correctly from the command line.

There is some problem with awk and the </usr/sbin/start-ntpd> script. Below are
some entries from the journal. I could not see any difference between this
start-ntpd and one on another system where NTP starts correctly. The awk
version is the same on both systems: 4.1.3, API: 1.1

The status output after trying to start using systemctl:
