    error on listxattr other than not supported.

    The upstream patch can be found at 14759ded57447345ba11c11a99fd84344797862c[1] - I've exported that patch
    for inclusion into sid.

    Thanks! I'll likely refresh against the ~latest upstream once things in
    the time_t land settle down some, so this will get pulled in then.

    Cheers,
