I would like to know if anybody experienced this. I am running the server cli version of Ubuntu 22.04.
After running apt, I see a message saying to run apt autoremove. (I did this)
I also got a message about a kernel update and to reboot (I rebooted)
Network never came up.
It did not take me long to realize that the iproute2 package and the netplan.io package were both gone. (both the ip and netplan commands were missing)
All interfaces (except lo were gone)
Without IP and Netplan, I had no network connection, so I went to https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy
to download packages in hopes of getting back up and running.
To get iproute2_5.15.0-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb I needed to also install:
- libbpf0_0.5.0-1_amd64.deb
- libcap2-bin_2.44-1build3_amd64.deb
- libmnl0_1.0.4-3build2_amd64.deb
- libxtables12_1.8.7-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb
Then to install netplan.io_0.104-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb I needed its depencencies:
- libc6_2.35-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb
- libglib2.0-0_2.72.1-1_amd64.deb
- libnetplan0_0.104-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
- python3_3.10.4-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
- python3-netifaces_0.11.0-1build2_amd64.deb
- python3-yaml_5.4.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
This actually fixed the networking problem and then I was able to run "apt --fix-broken install" to clean up whatever else happened.
Has anybody heard about this? I have been running Ubuntu servers for long time and have not seen this before.
