Glad this got fixed. Just looked at the diff. Seems like it should work
as advertised. What about those of use who got leveled by this bug? Is
there a recommended way to get a 1974196-horked installation working
again without a full reinstall? ... keeping in mind that networking is
somehow screwed up too, so even though I can log in (sans-gui) and see
all of my files, I can't run apt or download anything with curl.

Title:
  Installing libudev1 on a new Jammy installation uninstalls many
  packages.

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Jammy:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Kinetic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  On an Ubuntu 22.04 desktop system created using the current installation 
image without enabling package updates over the network, installing the package 
libudev1 results in a large number of critical packages being removed and 
rendering the system essentially unusable.

  [Test plan]
  Comprehensive regression test suite validating a full solver dump with the 
issue is run as autopkgtest.

  [Where problems could occur]
  We could break other things from resolving. The solver is a bit finicky. 
Hopefully this is isolated enough.

  [Other info]

  https://github.com/tfoote/udevdebug/blob/main/Dockerfile is a Dockerfile 
which also demonstrates the issue.
  Building the image, which will install udev 249.11-0ubuntu3 and init 1.62, 
and then running `apt install libudev1` in the generated image results in

  The following packages will be REMOVED:
    libnss-systemd libpam-systemd systemd-timesyncd udev
  The following packages will be upgraded:
    libudev1

  This is completely prevented by ensuring that updates are installed
  from the jammy-updates repository before installing any additional
  packages and that is almost certainly the correct thing to do. But
  this is a punishing result for such a mistake.

  I would expect the installation to either force the upgrade of the
  other systemd packages or refuse to install libudev1 at the incorrect
  version relative to the other systemd packages until the system is
  upgraded.

  We found this out via a user report for ROS 2 Humble which is
  releasing on top of Ubuntu 22.04 next week:
