Unfortunately, we are now 3 days away from the Ubuntu 22.10 release.  It's
unclear to me if any Ubuntu Developers will step up and have an opportunity
to upload a fix to this for inclusion in the 22.10 release before then.  (As
a member of the Release Team, I personally would definitely not!)  Given
that you say it's unclear how this broken config file ever happened, unless
there are more users reporting the same breakage we might just have to
accept this defect for 22.10.

If you think it's important enough to warrant a post-release update of the
package, the Ubuntu process is here:
