I have not taken a close look at the man pages to see if it mentions
this, but systemd-cryptenroll dlopen()'s the libraries needed for TPM2
support. So the message "TPM2 support is not installed." means the
binary was compiled with TPM2 support, but you need to install the
libraries. On the other hand, the message "TPM2 not supported on this
build." means that the binary was built without TPM2 support (i.e.
-Dtmp2=false).
I will take a closer look to see if we can improve the documentation
upstream. My guess is that one hesitation of being too specific with the
error message/man page is that the list of deps could go stale.

Title:
systemd-cryptenroll poorly communicates libtss2-rc0 dependency
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Description:
tpm2 support was added to jammy in 249.11-0ubuntu3.3 via LP1969375.
libtss2-rc0 was added as a suggested package.
$ systemd-cryptenroll --tpm2-device=list
TPM2 support is not installed.
Installing libtss2-rc0 allows this to resolve:
$ sudo apt install libtss2-rc0
$ systemd-cryptenroll --tpm2-device=list
PATH DEVICE DRIVER
/dev/tpmrm0 VTPM0101:00 tpm_crb
While this isn't inherently an issue, two things are notable:
+ The manpage for systemd-cryptenroll makes no mention that the
suggested package needs to be installed (that I could find), this is
only noted via `apt depends`. I only happened to find this while
building from source.
+ The presented error implies that the pkg was build with -Dtpm2=false
(as I read it), which is not actually the case. It should properly
indicate the missing dep.
The choice to leave this as a suggested dep was deliberate, so I
believe resolution of the above two issues would suffice to provide
enduser clarity.
