Bug Description

====== test-cap-list =======
Assertion 'capability_set_to_string_alloc(c, &t1) == 0' failed at src/test/test-cap-list.c:60, function test_capability_set_one(). Aborting.
FAIL: test-cap-list (code: 134)

This seems to be a result of new capabilities added in 5.8. systemd builds an array to convert capability numbers to strings, and these new capabilities are not in its array, so the test bombs out when trying to look up the string for a capability it doesn't know about. Rebuilding systemd using headers from Linux 5.8 should fix this issue.

Testing failed on:

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 245.6-3ubuntu3

---------------
systemd (245.6-3ubuntu3) groovy; urgency=medium

  * Rebuild against libselinux 3.0

systemd (245.6-3ubuntu2) groovy; urgency=medium

  * basic/cap-list: Print unknown capabilities in hexadecimal.
    This fixes autopkgtest running on 5.8 kernels
    (when systemd was built on an earlier one) (LP: #1885755)
    File: debian/patches/basic-cap-list-parse-print-numerical-capabilities.patch

systemd (245.6-3ubuntu1) groovy; urgency=medium

  * Merge to Ubuntu from Debian unstable
    - Dropped changes:
      * Enable EFI/bootctl on armhf.

systemd (245.6-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Dan Streetman ]
  * d/t/upstream: capture new merged 'system.journal' from tests.
    https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15281
  * d/t/upstream: use --directory or --file param for journalctl.
    Properly tell journalctl if the journal to parse is a dir or file.
  * d/t/storage: check for ext2 or ext4 fs when using crypttab 'tmp' option.
    https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15853

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/tests/localed-locale: Fix for environments without en_US.UTF-8.
    Unconditionally back up/restore locale configuration files and generate
    en_US.UTF-8. Previously the test failed in environments which have some
    locale other than en_US.UTF-8 in /etc/default/locale.
    Also fix the assertion of /etc/locale.conf not being present after
    localectl. This only applies to Debian/Ubuntu tests, not upstream ones.

Can we also push the fix to Xenial? People are running Xenial LXCs on Focal hosts with 5.8 kernels.
