Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

 * This issue causes a crash in openscap when there's a circular
dependency in systemd services, and currently affects both Ubuntu 20.04
and 22.04.

 * This indirectly is affecting the usage of USG (Ubuntu Security Guide)
for CIS auditing in systems with ceph-mds. See LP: #2060345.

 * This issue was reported to upstream here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1478285 and later fixed in
openscap upstream git repo
https://github.com/OpenSCAP/openscap/pull/1474. This SRU is a backport
of the mentioned pull request.

[ Test Plan ]

 * There are a few ways to reproduce this issue, as you can see some notes on 
LP: #2060345.
   But for simplicity, the easiest way to reproduce this issue is to run the 
following commands.
   Without the patch on Ubuntu 20.04:
```

  With the patch on Ubuntu 20.04:
```
$ sudo apt install libopenscap8=1.2.16-2ubuntu3.4

```

  With the patch on Ubuntu 22.04:
```
$ sudo apt install libopenscap8=1.2.17-0.1ubuntu7.22.04.2
$ oscap oval eval --id "oval:ssg-service_rsyslog_enabled:def:1" 
ssg-ubuntu2204-oval.xml
Definition oval:ssg-service_rsyslog_enabled:def:1: true
Evaluation done.
```

 * The other tests we will do is to run full usg fix and audit and
report if the output is as expected.

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * This fix was never backported to version 1.2 in upstream git repo, but was 
applied to openscap 1.2 in
   RHEL-based distros, it is unclear if the backport ever created another issue 
with the 
   systemdunitdependency probe. If that is the case we expect to see some other 
tests in usg failing,
   for example.

[ Other Info ]
 
 * This issue affects both Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04.
