images:archlinux -- lot of systemd services failed / no network

[return42]

Hope its the right place to post, I realized that so many service are not running when I noticed that I have no IPv4 in the archlinux container. You can reproduce it by:

$ incus launch images:archlinux myarch
...
$ incus exec myarch -- systemctl --failed

Legend: LOAD   → Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
        ACTIVE → The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
        SUB    → The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

Note that we have automated testing for all our images validating that any image we publish has a fully clean systemd setup. So this suggests some other environmental issue with your system.

Yeah I was also wondering that I should be the only one having this issue with archlinux ... I have tested several other images (voidlinux, ubu, alpine ..) and they did not show such issues.

I'll do some more research to find out what could be the cause and come back here ... thanks in advance.
