libc6 is somewhere down the chain for this package and depends on
libcrypt1 and libgcc-s1 which both depend on libc6. This seems fishy and
probably should be fixed. I initially discovered this issue in the
package browser on the ubuntu
website(https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/libudev-dev) which likely does
not take into account any changes made by Mint. I do not have any Ubuntu
machines to test on except a cheap laptop with a borked 14.04 install
and a UEFI password I don't remember and I'm on a 10 year old laptop
which means VMs are probably out of the question. Please make sure you
were testing on JAMMY and not anything older or newer as that is what
the affected Mint release is based on. If it still works on Ubuntu and
fixing the circular dependency doesn't fix it on mint(or breaks
something on Ubuntu) I will report it to the Mint devs.

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
