Hi Cindy,

That's not the issue at hand. The issue is whether the file
/bin/ping retains the file capabilities. People who have a /bin/ping
that only works as root are missing these:

$ getcap /bin/ping
/bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep

If they didn't have the package installed at all then it would be a
very different and more obvious error that was presented.

So my question is, are installs done by debootstrap somehow losing
the file capabilities? I ask because in this thread, one of the
other people reporting a /bin/ping without the correct capabilities
did their install through debootstrap.

If you've just done a debootstrap, what does getcap return for the
/bin/ping that got installed?

Cheers,
Andy
