If I understood correctly, it might be a bug in "live-initramfs" since
this tool generates the initrd used by the bug submitter and this tool
makes the assumption that klibc-utils is able to mount -o loop a
filesystem image.

(I'm sure you could have come to this conclusion by yourself if you cared
a little more about what the user has been trying to do)
