The package you need is just "ntp" so "apt-get install ntp".
On the other hand, apt-get install tde-trinity is
proceeding without
errors, with the side effect of loading many packages from
http://deb.devuan.org/merged apparently without problems; so perhaps this
clock thing is actually a problem with the repository server?
It's "random" in that it depends on whether your PC's erroneous clock
lies
within the validity window of the validation criteria. "ntp" - maybe after
ten or twenty minutes depending how bad it is - will adjust your clock. You
don't need to run any commands. It starts working upon installation and
after every reboot.
