There is no -lib package split in Fedora currently. The 'passim'
package provides the libraries.
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2278800 - there
is no 'passim-libs'.

Ah, sorry, I forgot - that error isn't the 'real' error, it's
misleading. That file is actually there, I think. This is the full
error:

Sep 06 02:27:08 fedora systemd[1]: Starting passim.service - A local caching server...
Sep 06 02:27:08 fedora (passimd)[2647]: passim.service: Failed to set up mount namespacing: /run/systemd/mount-rootfs/var/lib/passim/data: No such file or directory
Sep 06 02:27:08 fedora (passimd)[2647]: passim.service: Failed at step NAMESPACE spawning /usr/libexec/passimd: No such file or directory
Sep 06 02:27:08 fedora systemd[1]: passim.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=226/NAMESPACE
Sep 06 02:27:08 fedora systemd[1]: passim.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I'm guessing the "failed to set up mount namespacing" thing is the real
problem, and the error about /usr/libexec/passimd not being there is
just some odd consequence of the namespacing problem.

I do think that would be more appropriate. But you'd also need to split
the libs out for this to mean anything.
