Public bug reported:
I'm attempting to install some cert tools on a z/KVM instance of Zesty.
This is failing because udev exits with an error during installation.
The apt logs show this:
Setting up udev (232-21ubuntu3) ...
addgroup: The group `input' already exists as a system group. Exiting.
cat: '/sys/class/net/eth*/address': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package udev (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
and because of that, all other packages up the dependency chain fail to
install.
Interestingly, this is resolved by installing the older version of udev
and libudev1

As you can see, once I installed the original zesty version of udev and
libudev1, my packages succeeded in completing installation.
