Package: libcap2-bin Version: 1:2.19-3 Severity: important
libcap2-bin is lacking several of the utilities mentioned in the package description: execcap, sucap and - this is the problematic part - setpcaps. execcap and sucap were intended as work-arounds for the lack of support for file-based capabilities, so they might be obsolete and would just need to be removed from the package description (it wouldn't harm to keep them, though). setpcaps OTOH is the only tool that can change the capabilities of an (already running) process. There's no alternative in licap-ng-utils. This is the reason for Severity: important. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers squeeze-updates APT policy: (500, 'squeeze-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-rc7-flatty-ocf-2-00126-g835446b Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libcap2-bin depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcap2 1:2.19-3 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libpam-runtime 1.1.1-6.1 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l libcap2-bin recommends no packages.
