Since systemd 246, libsystemd apparently automagically links against libzstd. I had zstd installed on my build system already, but it didn't get installed on the target system with the systemd binpkg run-time dependencies, so systemd 246 systems fail to boot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -v sys-apps/systemd # with zstd installed already Actual Results: Run-time dependency libzstd found: YES 1.4.5 ... enabled features: PAM, libfdisk, IMA, SECCOMP, SMACK, xz, zstd, ... ... # build succeeds buildsystem $ objdump -x /usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-246.so | grep zstd NEEDED libzstd.so.1 # on the target system that just installs binpkgs /sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: libzstd.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00007f00 Expected Results: The system should boot. Add zstd to DEPEND and RDEPEND, or maybe define a USE flag to toggle the meson option to fix this.
