That indicates the previous chronyd dropped root privileges (the owner
of /var/run/chrony is not root), but the new one is keeping them and
refusing to write to the directory. It will not be possible to use
chronyc to make changes in the configuration until you reboot or
remove the directory and restart chronyd.

You should either recompile chrony with the correct user specified by
the --with-user option, or specify the user with the -u option on
the chronyd command line or use the user directive in chrony.conf.
