Title:
  [UBUNTU] zkey: Enhance error message about missing CCA library.

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Triaged
Status in s390-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Description:
  zkey: Enhance error message about missing CCA library.

  Symptom: 
  "zkey-cryptsetup reencipher" fails with missing library and confusing error message.

  Problem: 
  The "zkey reencipher" command as well as the "zkey-cryptsetup reencipher" command requires the IBM CCA Host Libraries and Tools package to be installed. This is a closed source library that is not distributed by the distributions, but               must be downloaded separately from an IBM web page.

  Solution:
  Enhance the error message to point to the web page where the package can be downloaded.

  Reproduction:
  Run the "zkey-cryptsetup reencipher" or "zkey reencipher" command without having installed the IBM CCA Host Libraries and Tools package.
