autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud downloads from:

https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/mantic/current/mantic-server-cloudimg-arm64.img

which I suppose is a link to 20230823/, given that it's currently the latest one. Note that autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud doesn't actually run autopkgtests: it merely prepares an image, booting it using bare qemu and running some commands in it.

I can reproduce the issue by downloading that .img file and running this tool you are probably familiar with:

launch-qcow2-image-qemu-arm64.sh --image mantic-server-cloudimg-arm64.img --password ubuntu

Actually I can reproduce the issue with jammy-server-cloudimg-arm64.img, so maybe this has something to do with the _host_ system (Mantic, in my case)?
