Public bug reported:
The latest version of iputils have the option of using SOCK_DGRAM
packets instead of SOCK_RAW, provided that the net.ipv4.ping_group_range
sysctl is set to a different value. This helps a lot with security in
-not just- Linux containers by dropping support for the NET_RAW
capability.
Also, the ubuntu-minimal packages should not include this package as a
hard dependency in case I want to uninstall iputils-ping to substitute
it for another package like oping which just works if I turn off the
setuid bit.
