Description
- Description: chattr and lsattr are installed but aren't working
- Expected results: either they should work, or they shouldn't get installed?
- Actual results (just an example)
$ cd ~/.ssh
$ chattr +i authorized_keys
chattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on authorized_keys
- Windows build number: 14390
- Steps / commands required to reproduce the error: run chattr or lsattr at prompt
This isn't a high priority for me. I'm just reporting it for completeness.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by running chattr and lsattr at the prompt, including chattr +i authorized_keys in ~/.ssh. Investigate how WSL handles the filesystem attribute operations these commands use; done means the commands work as expected or are no longer installed when unsupported.
