We would use a relative path, looking for globs like
'lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-*.so' under the build directory, and never find
anything.
The test was supposed to find library in the current installation. But we
cannot assume that the right library is installed, so the test only printed the
result for manual inspection. Thus nobody noticed when it broke. I think it
broke in c6134d3e2f, path-util: get rid of prefix_root().
But that commit doesn't compile because of changes in meson, so this is just
a guess.
Before:
/* test_systemd_installation_has_version */
Current installation has systemd >= 0: no
Current installation has systemd >= 231: no
Current installation has systemd >= 249: no
Current installation has systemd >= 999: no
With the fix:
$ build/test-nspawn-util
