I've checked some releases back and we build with: --without-attr since what seems forever. Maybe the code can't handle !HAVE_LIBATTR as good as the old did.
And configure confirms showing configure: attr: no throughout all the builds. That theory LGTM as the metadata handling that now fails didn't exist back in e.g. Bionic. [1][2] are >=5.6 which matches >=Focal where we see these issues. I'll need to report that to Michael who authored the initial offending change as well as the first fix you referred to me initially. I'd prefer a proper upstream fix by him to a spontaneous change at only the Ubuntu code.
