[Bug 2054901] Re: Systemd fails to install on Noble arm64

[protonic86]

I ran into the same problem, but I found that it should work if
bootstrapping from 22.04.

The problem appears to be due to the version of QEMU available for
20.04. The user mode emulation doesn't support OFD (open file
description) locks according to:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-08/msg06566.html

It looks like that was fixed in QEMU 5.1. Since 22.04 carries QEMU 6.2,
I was able to work around this issue by manually upgrading the qemu-
user-static package to the 22.04 version. This actually works on 20.04
because the binaries are statically linked.
