+Subject: [PATCH] Remove json_object typedef
+
+The json-c header already defines the same typedef. While C11 allows
+typedef redefinition to the same type, older versions of gcc disallow
+that.
+
+In file included from lib/luks2/luks2_internal.h:32,
+                 from lib/luks2/luks2_disk_metadata.c:24:
+lib/luks2/luks2.h:86: error: redefinition of typedef 'json_object'
