Hello @JanneKiiskila 

First let me thank you for posting.

This is a known behavior and the subject of internal investigation.

However, it does not have any impact on the functionality of the product and will not cause any problem.

BR,
Semer.

Well, turns out it does cause a  problem.
I need to support also Nordic Semiconductor chips and turns out those need also SEGGER JLINK.

The installation of those now fails and based on Segger forums - STM32Cube IDE is the reason for that.

The udev rules were removed prior to this and machine was reboot, so it is something else.

Would it be possible for STM to simplify the problem by wholly removing the Segger JLINK installation from Cube32IDE? If someone needs/wants it - let them download & install it via the Segger installation tool? Everyone might be a tad bit happier and you would have one problem less on your side.

Ok, turns out that by running this:

$ sudo dpkg -r segger-jlink-udev-rules
[sudo] password for jannek:

it worked. I might now have working setup.
