I am having the same problem.  Interestingly, /etc/localtime is correctly symlinked to the appropriate file in /usr/share/zoneinfo, but the GUI for time and date says no timezone is configured, and trying to set it results in the above error.
... because systemd sucks

Use "timeset-gui" in the AUR it is designed to work on openrc.

openrc-settingsd can be installed, it provides dbus interfaces to systemd's localectrl, timedatectl, and hostnamectl.
So clock and timezone settings work in DEs.

Service is optional, it has dbus activation.
The package provide dbus interfaces as previously already stated.
Arch DEs expect these dbus interfaces, ie systemd, or else the DEs gui throws an error.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but is there a runit solution for this issue? I was going to try timeset-gui but it kept asking for more and more dependencies so I pulled out.

I can set the date/time in the terminal but it doesn't stay correct.

Thanks

Unfortunately, no. openrc-settingsd are locked down to OpenRC, and it seems there are no more alternatives (systembsd seems to be BSD-only). So setting time using GUI is unsupported for now.
You can use NTP services (such as OpenNTPD) to automatically set your time.
now only the dinit guy in artix
