Public bug reported:
Language packs in Ubuntu are packaged as a package language-pack-XX
which depends on language-pack-XX-base. Currently, language-pack-sv and
language-pack-sv-base are both on a phased update. Due to how these
packages depend on each other, apt-get install language-pack-sv may fail
(depending on machine-id and apt config) if a machine gets the most
recent package of language-pack-sv, but is held back due to phasing for
language-pack-sv-base.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
language-pack-sv : Depends: language-pack-sv-base (>= 1:22.04+20220721) but
1:22.04+20220415 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
```
Setting `APT::Get::Always-Include-Phased-Updates true;` in a file
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/98-no-phased works around the issue.
N.B., This happened for us in CI, I was able to reproduce on a docker
image, but was not able to run ubuntu-bug on that machine, so ubuntu-bug
was run on a different machine. Sorry for the inconvenience.
