Issues installing qtbase5-private-dev on an Ubuntu 22.04 system

[VicenteSmith]

Hello,
I'm trying to install several Qt5 components on an Ubuntu 22.04 system. The issue is that when I install qtbase5-private-dev (with 'apt') and reboot the system, it locks me out and I cannot log in. This installation never caused any trouble with Ubuntu 20.04 so I was wondering if anyone has faced the same issue or has any suggestion.
Thanks.

@VicenteSmith The only thing I can imagine is that there is a packaging issue with this qtbase5-private-dev packet. But then it would be an Ubuntu issue. You can also ask Ubuntu (bug tracker/forum/mailing list).
If you install this package does apt suggest any further changes (add/remove other packages)?

@VicenteSmith I really doubt that installing qtbase5-private-dev would break your user account.
What exactly do you mean with "I cannot log in"? And what happens?

[VicenteSmith]

@jsulm After rebooting, I cannot ssh to the system. Installing other components such as qt5keychain-dev or qtbase5-dev does not cause this problem but qtbase5-private-dev does and only with Ubuntu 22.04.

@VicenteSmith And can you ssh to your system after uninstalling qtbase5-private-dev ?

[VicenteSmith]

@jsulm I cannot log in so I cannot uninstall or do anything (this is a cloud system so I simply have to terminate it) [NOTE: Sorry for the delay but it seems that as a new user I have to wait for about 10 minutes to post a reply]

@jsulm No, it doesn't make any suggestion, but it restarts several services (I tried restarting all of them or none but didn't make any difference). I will report the bug to Ubuntu (I had previously posted at 'ask Ubuntu' about the problem but nobody replied and is probably a better idea to submit it as a bug). Thanks.

Is there an open issue for this somewhere else? I just installed this on Ubuntu 22.04 and it removed a number of required system packages including network-manager.

@d_mcknight This issue is indeed specific to Ubuntu 22.04, I came across it today. The solution is to do sudo apt upgrade first. After it, qtbase5-private-dev is not trying to uninstall the whole system anymore.
