Hi @kchavda,

this is a problem with (relatively) recent Linux distributions. Building `mender-artifact` from source should do the trick. Also please see the note in the Downloads section: [Downloads | Mender documentation](https://docs.mender.io/downloads#mender-artifact)

But thanks for the information.
