Bug description:
  ====== test-cap-list =======
  Assertion 'capability_set_to_string_alloc(c, &t1) == 0' failed at src/test/test-cap-list.c:60, function test_capability_set_one(). Aborting.
  FAIL: test-cap-list (code: 134)

  This seems to be a result of new capabilities added in 5.8. systemd
  builds an array to convert capability numbers to strings, and these
  new capabilities are not in its array, so the test bombs out when
  trying to look up the string for a capability it doesn't know about.
  Rebuilding systemd using headers from Linux 5.8 should fix this issue.
