Having installed Ubuntu 22 server from server-live-cd https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/ubuntu-22.04.1-live-server-amd64.iso
(md5sum e8d2a77c51b599c10651608a5d8c286f)

without network connection to internet (so no connection to ubuntu apt
repositories). After offline installation completed, we remove the
"jammy-updates" from the /etc/apt/sources.list so it looks like so:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb         http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu         jammy                   main restricted universe multiverse
deb         http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu         jammy-security          main restricted universe multiverse

We assume that the installed package libldap-2.5-0 version 2.5.12+dfsg-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
was installed from the ubuntu installer cd which is a version from jammy-updates.

Now we are unable to install package "ldap-utils" because that depends
on package libldap-2.5-0 version 2.5.11+dfsg-1~exp1ubuntu3.1 (which is
older than the offline installed version 2.5.12+dfsg-0ubuntu0.22.04.1)

The problem is solved when adding line

deb         http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu         jammy-updates
main restricted universe multiverse

to /etc/apt/sources.list

But we want _only_ security updates, to keep the updates minimal.

Other workaround is "apt remove libldap-2.5-0", then when installing
ldap-utils that fetches the older libldap-2.5-0 version
2.5.11+dfsg-1~exp1ubuntu3.1 and repo is consistent.

Questions:
- Can you confirm that the package version from the server-live-cd see above is the version from the jammy-updates repository?
- Do you agree that when the above question is answered yes, having jammy-updates apt-repository is mandatory?
- if jammy-updates repo should be mandatory should this be documented?
