Accidentally installed wrong package sudo apt install netplan instead of sudo apt install netplan.io from official Ubuntu repository.

I run Ubuntu 18.04, I wanted to edit DNS servers, but instead I've installed some kind of calendar package.

It seems that the package is maintained by “Ubuntu Developers” group, not MOTUs.

Is there any risk of malware? How trustworthy is the “Ubuntu Developers”?

You installed apt install netplan

so assuming you got it from official repositories, it'll be (I'm using web sites over commands as it's easier for readers on this site)

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=netplan

For 18.04 / bionic that is

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/netplan

I would check the version matches your install (1.10.1-5build1), but clicking on the "Ubuntu Changelog" link, you'll see, along with the date & reason for each change, the email address of the people who have changed it.

Most of which changes are made by upstream devs (ie. Debian) which is where many Ubuntu devs (inc. MOTUs) push changes anyway (less work in the long run though will depend on the cycle & package).

If you trust Ubuntu & it's upstream Debian it's safe
