Public bug reported: on newly installed ubuntu systems in particular or any that has already updated systemd to 255.4-1ubuntu8.12
it is impossible to install libnss-resolve e.g. ``` apt install libnss-resolve Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libnss-resolve : Depends: systemd-resolved (= 255.4-1ubuntu8.11) but 255.4-1ubuntu8.12 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ``` it appears this package was not updated during last updates of systemd packages this package is attempted to be installed particularly if you use puppet/openvox and manage systemd with the puppet-systemd module (https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-systemd) - this issue prevents the use of the puppet module on these systems, and while yet unconfirmed prevents systemd from being further updated to current versions if this package was already installed. i would expect that this package needs to be built for the current version of systemd accordingly. I can easily repeat this issue on multiple clean installs of Ubuntu 24.04 Reproduction Steps Install Ubuntu 24.04.3 from any relevant install method apt update/upgrade base system to most current updates apt install libnss-resolve System information: ``` # lsb_release -rd No LSB modules are available.
