Continuing from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1404406#c9 Description of problem: When journalctl encounters a journal file which it is unable to open due to an incomatiblity flag being set in the journal file header, journalctl exits with a generic message "<...> uses an unsupported feature." without any specific information which feature requires support that isn't available or wasn't compiled in. For example, #1404406, had a regression in which lz4 support wasn't compiled into the shipped package and journal files could no longer be opened by journalctl. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-231-12.fc25 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. compiled systemd without support for the compression algo used to compress the journal files 2. try to open a compressed journal file. 3. Actual results: journalctl reports " "<...> uses an unsupported feature." Expected results: should say " "<...> requires support for XXX, which is not available."
