Thanks, Andy. dpkg -L found it. I didn't have apt-file installed.

$ apt-file search libjansson.so.4
libjansson4: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjansson.so.4
libjansson4: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjansson.so.4.9.0

Also, for installed packages, "dpkg -L libjansson4".

Cheers,
Andy

More searching in the output of "journalctl -xe" turns up:

debm NetworkManager[583]: /usr/sbin/NetworkManager: error while loading
shared libraries: libjansson.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

In another (non-minimal) system with a working DNS:

root@debU:~# apt search libjansson
[snip]
libjansson4/stable,now 2.9-1 amd64 [installed,automatic] 
C library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON data

Says it's installed but where? Running "whereis" turns up nothing.
