Confirmed, but no information on whether it is transient or definitive.

If it is definitive, we can host it, of course, or use (for example):
https://github.com/richardcochran/libdaemon/releases/tag/v0.14
(changing url so that the downloaded file is named libdaemon instead of
v0.14)

This would need running autotools, and since the package is very old,
it would also need updating autotools constructs.

Note that libdaemon is a hard dependency of blocaled, which is needed
to run GNOME on SysV. libdaemon code has been included into systemd,
and might also be retrieved from there, but not sure.

In any case, filing a ticket, so that this is not forgotten.
