I have a similar problem - ping lost suid permission for unknown reason. Reinstalling the package does not help (see below). Is this in the scope of this bug report or do you wish a new one? $ apt-get --reinstall install iputils-ping iputils-ping (3:20121221-5+b2) wird eingerichtet ... Failed to set capabilities on file `/bin/ping' (Invalid argument) The value of the capability argument is not permitted for a file. Or the file is not a regular (non-symlink) file Setcap failed on /bin/ping, falling back to setuid Regards, Eduard.
