 The Trusted Platform Module's (TPM) NV index support is too limited to properly
 implement NV index backed additional PCRs. NvPCRs will not be allocated or

+Subject: An optional dependency for @FEATURE@ is not installed
+Defined-By: systemd
+Support: %SUPPORT_URL%
+
+The @FEATURE@ feature that was requested depends on an optional component that
+is loaded at runtime (for example a shared library opened via dlopen(3)), but
+that component is not installed on this system.
+
+As a result @FEATURE@ is unavailable, and is either skipped, disabled, or
+degraded to a fallback mode. Refer to the accompanying log message for the
+specific dependency that is missing, then install it to enable @FEATURE@.
