Hi,
in my debian to devuan migration script I hit the same problem
and resolved it like this:

# ntpdate is deprecated in debian but still exists in
# bullseye repos so we still use it here.
# In the future we will  need to switch to
# ntpsec-ntpdate or sntp -S pool.ntp.org
# this is less ideal as they have more dependencies.
# INSTALL NTPDATE IF NEEDED
NTPDATE=$(command -v ntpdate-debian)
if test -x "$NTPDATE" ; then
    echo "ntpdate-debian is already installed...good"
    # Wrong date and time is one of the causes of failure of apt update
    # and subsequent devuan deb packages download which breaks
    # the migration process, so we ensure that date and time are set correctly
else
    echo "Installing ntpdate-debian"
    apt install ntpdate > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
echo "Setting date and time with ntpdate-debian"
ntpdate-debian pool.ntp.org
# Allow time change to propagate
sleep 5


Hope this helps.

Ciao,
Tito
