Problem with chrony package installing on Qubes Release 3.2-rc1

[Jeral A]

Hi!

I'm having problem during the Qubes Release 3.2-rc1 installation.

During the installation process error message displays, informing me that the "chrony" package won't be installed.

Here is the whole error message text: You have specified that the package 'chrony' should be installed. This package does not exist. Would you like to ignore this package and continue with installation?

If I press "Yes", then the installation process continues, but after the system runs first time, another error message appears: https://i.imgur.com/n1d7HOm.jpg

After that the system starts normally, but I can't find any preinstalled VMs (sys-net, sys-firewall, work, personal etc).

How can I solve that problem?

Any chance to install chrony package manually?

Thanks in advance.

We currently have two issues open (possible duplicates, waiting to
confirm) regarding the "chrony" package:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2110
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2147

It's not clear to me whether your other error message (and missing
VMs) is related to the chrony issue or not, though.

And is it possible to install the default VMs (sys-net, sys-firewall etc) manually by running some script?

Had a similar effect during my second install. At the time I had backups
of VM's waiting to get re-installed, so I didn't take note of which vm's
where missing at the time. I did see the chrony error.
What I did different in relation to the first install, was setting
timezone and keyboard. At the first install, I adjusted the settings
_after_ the install. Could be the two issues below are related?

Maybe a fresh install with default settings?

You can retry configuration by calling 'sudo qubesctl state.highstate' in dom0

Thanks a lot!
I reinstalled the system without changing time zone and there was no error message about the chrony package!
