systemd version 237-3ubuntu10.43 causes 32 bit Lubuntu 18.04 login to fail

[Bill Miller]

After installing routine updates including systemd version 237-3ubuntu10.43 this 32 bit Lubuntu 18.04 booted to a black screen with a blinking cursor.

I booted to recovery mode and removed the systemd update. This gave me a normal boot.

pretty sure this is a dup of bug 1902871 (which is itself a dup of older bug 1890394), but if you disagree feel free to un-dup.

Sounds right, thanks! I was morally certain it would have been reported previously, but I couldn't find it.
