Thank you for your report. I was unable to reproduce this on Ubuntu. Installing libudev-dev 249.11-0ubuntu3.6 seems to work just fine. I tried both an Ubuntu cloud image in a container, and a fresh desktop image in a VM. Log attached.
Your "Proof that is not Mint's fault" doesn't demonstrate that this is the case. Packages have complex dependency relationships, and just because the libudev-dev package is unmodified in Mint does not mean that the problem doesn't lie elsewhere in some other package that Mint has modified. To make progress, please test on Ubuntu itself, and then provide exact steps to reproduce your problem on Ubuntu. Once you've done that, please change the bug status back to New. ** Attachment added: "log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/2000448/+attachment/5637843/+files/log ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2000448 Title: Trying to install libudev-dev uninstalls important system stuff Status in repos: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu version: I am using Linux Mint but apt-policy says the package is in the Ubuntu repos. The version of Mint I am using is Mint 21, which is based on Ubuntu 22.04. Package version: 249.11-0ubuntu3.6 Expected: libudev-dev installs without removing anything important. Actual: apt tries to remove important system packages like xorg and network-manager. The first time I encountered this issue I was using -y with apt, so it removed the important stuff and I had to reinstall my Mint. My files are safe but my Christmas was ruined. P.S. please fix this ASAP as I need that package to use one of my Christmas gifts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/repos/+bug/2000448/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
