Public bug reported: I upgraded libnetplan0 on our AWS EC2 from 0.99-0ubuntu3~20.04.2 to 0.101-0ubuntu3~20.04.2, but did not upgrade netplan.io, which remained at version 0.99-0ubuntu1. On system reboot, our networking was not configured properly and our AWS EC2 instance was unreachable via SSH.
I believe the issue is that libnetplan 0.101-0ubuntu3~20.04.2 is incompatible with netplan.io 0.99-0ubuntu1. However, "apt show netplan.io=0.99-0ubuntu1" lists the dependency libnetplan0 (>= 0.99-0ubuntu1). I believe this is incorrect, since from this experience libnetplan 0.101-0ubuntu3~20.04.2 appears to be incompatible with netplan.io 0.99-0ubuntu1. I suspected that the issue was with netplan by inspecting /var/log/syslog, which had these entries after upgrading libnetplan0 - some errors from systemd-networkd and then interface ens5 not coming up: Feb 18 17:20:44 xxxx systemd-networkd[446]: /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-ens5.network:4: Maximum transfer unit (MTU) value out of range.

When I rebooted, the server was able to boot with networking. To reproduce, upgrade libnetplan0 from 0.99-0ubuntu3~20.04.2 to 0.101-0ubuntu3~20.04.2, but keep netplan.io at version version 0.99-0ubuntu1 and reboot.
