We have a potential fix for this with https://github.com/chef/omnibus-software/pull/1460, but it has not yet been merged @knightorc

The DWARF libraries are pulled in by myhostname on centos-7/rhel-7:

# ldd /lib64/libnss_myhostname.so.2
[....]
	libdw.so.1 => /lib64/libdw.so.1 (0x0000ffffb467c000)
[....]
# ldd /lib64/libdw.so.1
[....]
	liblzma.so.5 => /lib64/liblzma.so.5 (0x0000ffff8f7a1000)
[....]

That dependency doesn’t exist in centos-8/rhel-8 so this isn’t an issue

In fact a workaround is to modify /etc/nsswitch.conf and change:

hosts:      files dns myhostname

To:

hosts:      files dns

I validated the fact that the omnibus health checker has gotten itself silently broken, which does explain how this bug could have slipped through.
