-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Haavard,
It means your application is not capable(sic) of using the upper 32-bits of the 64-bit capability sets supported by this newer kernel. You might consider rebuilding the offending application linking it against a newer version of libcap: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/libcap2/ However, it is a warning and, for any existing app that doesn't care about newly added capabilities, the warning is benign.
