I recently encountered an issue where the new version of the mysql-server package (8.0.30-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) will not install in an Ubuntu 22.04 container. I Tried with an Ubuntu 20.04 container also and got the same result.
I can reproduce the issue by launching a fresh container and installing mysql-server without any additional steps needed.
lxc launch ubuntu:22.04 test
lxc exec test bash
apt update && apt upgrade
apt install mysql-server
I get the following errors:

The package installs fine on a bare metal Ubuntu 22.04 machine. Any ideas what the issue might be?
