[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 247.3-5ubuntu1

---------------
systemd (247.3-5ubuntu1) impish; urgency=medium

  [ Balint Reczey ]
  * Merge to Ubuntu from Debian unstable
    - Dropped changes:
      * LoadCredentials: do not assert on invalid syntax (now present in Debian)
  * debian/tests: Split upstream test to two parts.
    The test can take very long time and may time out as it could be
    observed in Ubuntu's CI system many times.

  * Apply upstream patch to correct key and device mapping (LP: #1926547)
    File: debian/patches/0001-hwdb-60-keyboard-Update-Dell-Privacy-Micmute-Hotkey-.patch

systemd (247.3-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * udev-udeb: setup /dev/fd, /dev/std{in,out,err} symlinks.
    As systemd-udevd no longer sets them up itself, we create them manually
    after mounting devtmpfs. This avoids breaking applications which expect
    those symlinks. (Closes: #975018)

systemd (247.3-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Luca Boccassi ]
  * Backport patch to fix assert with invalid LoadCredentials=
    Regression introduced in v247, fixed in v249, see:
    https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/19178
    (Closes: #986302)

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * network: Delay addition of IPv6 Proxy NDP addresses.
    Fixes "IPv6 Proxy NDP addresses are being lost from interfaces after
    networkd adds them". (Closes: #985510)

  other hardware.
