Hi Nagendra,

Please provide the output of this command:

$ systemctl status -- -.mount

Did you happen to run 'sudo systemctl mask' on the -.mount unit ?

The problem in package install/update is caused because that unit is masked, but it's not on my Eoan system.
So currently wondering if that has been done manually, or by another package being upgraded (I looked at some packages from util-linux, but didn't find it.)

Thanks,
Mauricio
