Title:
  udev version 232-21ubuntu3 from ports is broken on Zesty s390x

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
