Public bug reported: From the issue in the netplan tracker [1]:
During a systemd daemon-reload, the Netplan generator in /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/netplan tries to reload the udev rules and databases with udevadm control --reload [2], which causes a deadlock, because reloading udev rules and databases requires a functioning systemd-userdbd.service, which is not the case during a systemd daemon-reload. The systemd developers will not consider making changes to any systemd component in order to prevent this deadlock, and instead suggest that the Netplan developers generate their systemd link/network/netdev units using a generator service like systemd- network-generator.service. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1999178 On my machine, this causes every 'apt install' to be very slow, enabled / disabling systemd services to be slow, sudo hanging while these processes hang and so on.
