Hello. Install ntp package

apt install ntp

Then this message should disappear.

What economists call over-production is but a production that is above the purchasing power of the worker, who is reduced to poverty by capital and state.

Re: [SOLVED] devuan 4 mate, time and date manager error

The org.freedesktop.timedate1 service is provided by systemd:

$ apt-file search org.freedesktop.timedate1                                                 
systemd: /lib/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.timedate1.service
systemd: /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.timedate1.service
systemd: /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.timedate1.conf
systemd: /usr/share/man/man5/org.freedesktop.timedate1.5.gz
systemd: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.timedate1.policy
$

@OP, you may be SOL with this one...

EDIT: here's the unit file:

It's a dbus service running a systemd binary with extensive sandboxing and hardening. I don't think this can be replicated with sysvinit. Hopefully I'm wrong.

EDIT: Alpine use openrc-settingsd to provide a dbus interface with OpenRC so you might be able to package that for Devuan and get it working with MATE. You'll have to switch to OpenRC as the service manager but it's better than sysvinit anyway (IMO).
