The error below has been fixed.
I make my clones using
cp -la template/* new-guest
to create links. Then I remove etc root home and var from the guest and copy
real files into it from the template rather than have links in those.
The problem was that I accidently ran
setattr --iunlink
on a clone etc directory instead of removing the directoy to copy real files
in place. This changed the template /etc which caused the error. Normally I
would not have even found it since I would not run a template, but on this
test bed the template is being used.
To cure the problem I ran setattr --~iunlink on the template /etc directory
and files.
