Ubuntu
keyutils package

Cannot access libkeyutils.so.1

Asked by Ben

I first noticed an issue when trying to SSH to a host.

ssh: error while loading shared libraries: libkeyutils.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Operation not permitted

lsattr /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkeyutils.so.1.8
lsattr: Operation not permitted While reading flags on /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkeyutils.so.1.8

I can't seem to do anything with the library. An uninstall and reinstall all packages that depended on this (the desktop environment) yielded the same result.

Installed libkeyutils.so.1.9 from source and updated symlink which resolved the issue. libkeyutils.so.1.8 was previously installed.
