Jep all these are expected, fixed with the update itself and have no effect on success.
Because it is important that this was successful, could you paste:
cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/dietpi-wireguard*
And less important but check if G_AGUP now does not show the GPG error anymore?
MichaIng

@MichaIng
Just as info, Wireguard was already installed before updating to 6.22.
root@DietPi:~# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/dietpi-wireguard*

If needed I can go for an empty installation before update and try to install WG once on 6.22
G_AGUP seems to be fine

Jep I thought so. Okay the preferences for the sid repo were updated as desired and the Debian keyring is installed, so the GPG error has gone. Perfect, thanks for testing this 👍.

override worked not entirely clean and is a bit risky but its fixed the problem its working normally now. very strange little bug that one
chaosx2019

@chaosx2019
Your error is not related to DietPi-Software but it is the network time synchronization failing to connect/sync in reasonable time.
According to the prior connection check, network is generally there. The time actually as well looks good: 23:31 - Thu 21/03/19
So yeah in this case overriding on the final error prompt (after 60th loop failed as well), is the best choice.
To investigate please paste:
journalctl -u systemd-timesyncd
What you can try:
dietpi-config > Network Options: Misc > NTP Mirror >
and select preferred option here.
I would generally recommend "Gateway" which attempts syncs time with your router, which should be way faster then syncing to an external NTP server. In most cases the router supports this and syncs itself to a pre-configured external NTP server.
AFAIK selecting an option forces a re-sync anyway, otherwise do it manually:
/DietPi/dietpi/func/run_ntpd 1
hi michael,
the journal shows no entries which is weird. also ive tried all the other suggestions and nothing is working.
Override works but its not remembered on reboot. any ideas?

@chaosx2019
Ah, you have NTP installed. We really need to add an auto detection for this 🤔.
If you don't need super precise system time (high frequency sensor logging or stuff), or want to use your DietPi system as NTP server, please uninstall it:
apt purge ntp
If you really need to keep it, then select "Custom" as time sync mode:
dietpi-config > Advanced Options > Time sync mode > Custom
With this, DietPi does not run+check systemd-timesyncd anymore to update your system clock regularly but expects that some 3rd party NTP client does this. The ntp package is the classic NTP client which works great but is a bid heavy weight, too heavy for usual needs. The modern Debian init system (systemd) has systemd-timesyncd as lightweight internal NTP client which we use. But this one denies to start, if it detects the ntp package, which can be seen in your output:
└─ ConditionFileIsExecutable=!/usr/sbin/ntpd was not met

that fixed it. thanks i dont remember installing ntp, but i will keep an eye on that in the future.
changed ntp to europe pool and purged the ntp install.
works perfectly now :)
