Details

Description:

journalctl (or other programs that depend on libsystemd) crashes when attempting to get a file descriptor for a journal file(s).

To reproduce:

find a journal file (in /var/log/journal)

journalctl --file /path/to/journal # this will work
journalctl --file /path/to/journal --follow # this will segfault

The issue is reported upstream here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15528

Building systemd-libs with 2b6df46d21abe8a8b7481e420588a9a129699cf9 in the backports list resolves the crash; perhaps we should backport this commit?
