[Bug 1914062] Re: NetworkManager-wait-online.service in 1.28.0-2ubuntu1 fails to start in LXC

[Sebastien Bacher]

Investigating the issue, udev fails to enumerate devices in the lxc
environment when udev_enumerate_add_match_is_initialized is called. The
same test program works in a focal instance.

Discussing the issue on the LXD channel it was raised that the systemd
udev changes in 247 could be creating problems.

The network-manager 1.26 version works because the udev support was wrongly disabled, which was fixed in that commit
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/commit/78dc57d8

** Package changed: network-manager (Ubuntu) => systemd (Ubuntu)

Title:
  NetworkManager-wait-online.service in 1.28.0-2ubuntu1 fails to start
  in LXC

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This regresses systemd's autopkgtest because it expects the system in
  the container to reach running state, but the system ends up in
  degraded state due to the service failing.
