0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with xbps-install musl-nscd followed by nscd, using the Void 6.1.21_1 x86_64-musl environment described. Read the related Alpine issue for context and inspect the musl-nscd package configuration. Done means nscd starts successfully and exits with status 0 without the missing libnss_files.so error.
