Greetings. I installed jessie on a kvm virtual machine, then did rsync to a real partition (long story short: I didn't want debian-installer to format all my swap partitions). As a result, the ping command did not work as a normal user anymore and said this:
ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted Ok, a little bit of searching and I found two ways to fix this: setcap cap_net_raw+ep /bin/ping or better: dpkg-reconfigure iputils-ping A little bit more of searching told me that I should use rsync -X next time. Now I am worried about what other things in my system that I didn't discover yet will not work because of not using rsync -X. Do we have a list of packages where we use extended attributes? Would it worth to have a procedure like "dpkg-capoverride" so that whenever a package needs to change a capability, the change gets registered somewhere other than the filesystem itself?
