Every distribution we have packages this now. Changelog-Changed: Build: lowdown is now required (we no longer bundle our own). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
We shipped our own because Ubuntu xenial (16.4) had an ancient one. Changelog-Changed: Build: libsodium version >= 1.0.4 now required (released 2015-06-11) Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
No idea if it works, we don't test it and nobody runs it. I guess not. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Changelog-Removed: Config: non-functioning litecoin support (who knew we even had that?)

Based on #8530
Everyone packages lowdown and libsodium nowdays, and litecoin was never used.
