Not a problem with a clean install of 22.04.1 LTS:

They did an upgrade of the OS rather than a clean install.

That’s a development install.

It looks like my not trusting running an OS update and doing a clean install isn’t quite as silly as I thought.

The other advantage of the clean install is tha tyou can fail back to the working version just by changing your DNS (or static ip, which is what I’d recommend since it’s much faster than waiting for DNS to update in most cases).
